Hope Covenant (ND) Celebrates New Worship Center
GRAND FORKS, ND – On Sunday, Hope Covenant Church began a 10-week grand opening celebration for its new worship center in the Grand Cities Mall.
The congregation also celebrated the purchase of the Trophy House, a former business in the mall parking lot that is being converted into a youth center called The Rock. A Christian concert held Wednesday night was carried live on a local secular station.
Ten years ago, the church bought the northwest end of the mall for its worship space. With the latest purchase, the church now owns 50,000 square feet of the mall.
Pastor Paul Knight told the Grand Forks Herald that the location is perfect. “We have thousands of parking spaces. We have access to people, and people have access to us. Everybody in town knows where the mall is.”
The congregation has held three services on Sunday with a total attendance of 750. The new space enables it to move to two services. The church held its first worship service in the new location on Easter.
The growth of the church has been assisted with loans from National Covenant Properties.
