Hope International Fellowship submitted a winning bid of $83,000
A church in need of a permanent home has submitted the winning bid for a former elementary school in Wichita.
The 21,000-square-foot Booth Elementary School has been used for storage since students were moved to a nearby school in 2003.
The Wichita Eagle reports that a nondenominational Christian church called Hope International Fellowship submitted a winning bid of $83,000 for Booth Elementary during an auction Tuesday. The Wichita school board must approve the sale.
Hope International has about 70 to 100 members who've been meeting for years in a school gymnasium rented from the Wichita district. Senior pastor Ed Belsan says he's thrilled with the prospect of moving into a permanent home.
District officials and neighbors of Booth Elementary also said they were pleased with the sale.
