Members of Evangel North Church are now enjoying new surroundings, after converting an old gym to their house of worship.
The old Premier Fitness building, along Cedar Street in Clarksville, now houses the church.
Converting the building had been met with some zoning regulation earlier this month. In the process of getting an occupancy permit, church officials found out that the town’s zoning laws didn’t allow churches because the area was zoned for business.
The church had to notify its neighbors, make sure the building complied with the Americans with Disabilities Act and address some parking lot issues before it could open.
Executive Pastor Kevin McKnight said all matters have been addressed, and the church is now able to hold regular services Wednesdays and Sundays.
Evangel North is a satellite of Louisville-based Evangel Church, which has locations throughout the metropolitan area — including Charlestown, Louisville and Elizabethtown, Ky. It’s been in Southern Indiana since 1998. Before the move to Cedar Street, it rented a storefront near Tom Stinnett RV Center in Clarksville.
It has about 150 members in Indiana. Throughout the metro area, the church has about 6,000 members.
