Buildings for sale

Need a church building? We got a couple for sale.

1. “Lighthouse Church” former North Jordan Stake Center, build 1949, Vision: Community

Resource Center, Local History museum. Both groups interested working with West

Valley City Got lots of red brick, pretty cool looking. No word on price.

2. Stake Center Cerritos CA, $14.9 million, 32,816 sf, five acres, built 1977, (Looks like

standard Church issue) Still actively used as a Stake Center in Institute building. Is sale

related to construction of newer facilities near regional temples?
