Life Church has filed plans with Delaware County to join three neighboring lots, about 2.15 acres in total, into a single lot at its church property in Springfield Township. It also plans to add a building of about 8,380 square feet to its existing church.
The county record doesn't say what the addition will be used for. It doesn't give the street address, the current layout of the site, or a construction schedule. The county lists G. D. Houtman and Son on the filing. No news coverage, meeting agendas, minutes or hearing decisions about this project were found online, so nothing is known about opposition or approvals.
What it could mean nearby
- Combining the three lots into one is a paperwork change. By itself, it doesn't change what is built on the land.
- An 8,380 sq ft addition could mean more activity on the site, such as more visitors and parking. The records don't give traffic or parking figures.
Where it stands
The latest county filing is dated 2025-09-18, which suggests the plan is under municipal and county review. The township then usually reviews it and may approve it, sometimes with conditions, before permits are issued and construction starts. No approval has been confirmed in public sources.
