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. 
The 25,000-square-foot church, which was built in 1909, was designed by nationally recognized architect and painter Thomas P. Barnett.  The church is constructed of red brick and Bedford limestone in the Tudor Gothic style. 
Founded in 2015, Apostles Church is a diverse community that works toward equity for its neighbors on the north side of Delmar.  It is a people of God, called out of the division in the city to be ministers of reconciliation.
