Developer Ethan Collier of Collier Construction recently purchased the former Resurrected Baptist Church property on East 18th Street for $2.5 million for a future phase of the Mill Town development.
“Ethan Collier was very, very kind and very generous to us,” Rev. Eddie Jacks, the church’s pastor, said by phone.
The church congregation of about 150 people had been in the building for 30 years, he said.
“There were several problems going on with our building, and it was more cost-effective for us to be able to purchase another building than to try and make all the repairs that were needed for that location,” Jacks said.
