Worthington Planning Commission

In March 2022, the Worthington Planning Commission approved a recommendation from the church to operate in The Global Office Building at 300 11th Street in conditional use permit. In 2018, the group denied a conditional use permit to build on property located across from Oslon Park. Instead, the church purchased five acres (2.0 ha) of land in the city of Worthington located along Nobles County 57, near Lakeside Travel Plaza. However, the church was unable to build on the property due to shortage of funds and change in their membership.[6][7]
