A hurricane-damaged church has been torn down, but plans are afoot to rebuild.The Old Faith Tabernacle Church, near Watford Bridge, in Sandys, was demolished on Wednesday.Pastor Lynn Landy said that the church suffered extensive damage during Hurricane Fabian in 2003.“At that point, we were forced to stop worshipping there,” he said. “We’ve been worshipping at other places since the hurricane, but we have always wanted to come back.“We received permission to demolish it, and now we can start preparations to rebuild on the site. We are happy about it because it means we are really getting started there and we can continue to do what we have wanted to do.”Pastor Landy also said that in its damaged state, the building wasn’t very attractive, and the demolition was hoped to help beautify the area. Sections of the building had begun to collapse, and over the summer trees were seen sprouting from the building’s roof.The Pastor said that there is not yet a final plan for the new church as the congregation wants to incorporate more elements for community outreach.“We are looking at the facility, and trying to put together how we can use it to better serve the community,” Pastor Landy said.“We are doing some alterations to the designs so that it can be more multipurpose, but work is in progress and that is a good thing.”Among the elements being discussed are a computer lab, a small library, a kitchen to be used to cook for seniors, and a nursery.
