Detroit church forced to find new home just days before Christmas

A Detroit church is currently looking for a new home after the landlord of its building decided to renovate and seek new tenants.

For seven years, worshipers with Always In Jesus' Presence Ministries have gathered inside a building at Woodward and Grand Boulevard. Sunday was the last day of services after they packed up and moved.

Now, the church is operating out of a temporary space while it looks for a permanent home.

"It is essential that we have a stable base that we can work from," Pastor Ovelia Davis said. "People know that they come here."

Davis noted that the church runs a food pantry and works with Crime Stoppers to provide victims with a place to heal, so they need a church building to continue that mission.
