Apostles Church Buys 108-Year Church for New Home

Hilliker Corporation, a St. Louis owned and managed commercial real estate company, recently assisted a local church purchase a historic church. 
Apostles Church bought the Visitation-St. Ann Shrine Church located at 4515 Evans Ave. for $250,000.  According to Apostles Church pastor Todd Gentman, his church will make approximately $30,000 in renovations that include replacing floors and updating classrooms.  Prior to moving into the church, Apostles Church was leasing space at 5574 Delmar Blvd.
