Gwinnett Church Begins Building New Facility Near Suwanee

A Gwinnett megachurch has begun moving dirt near Suwanee for a large new worship facility.

Construction crews began clearing a 50-acre site on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard near West Price Road earlier in April. And Gwinnett Church pastor Jeff Henderson told followers in a video that the new church should be completed in 2014.

Gwinnett Church, which is an offshoot of North Point Ministries in Alpharetta, currently meets at Cross Pointe Church in Duluth. Plans first were put in place for the new building in 2011.

The tract in Sugar Hill reportedly cost $8.7 million.

"March of next year -- which typically means June," pastor Jeff Henderson told followers in a video about an opening date.

This means that two large structures will be located in that area. Ashton Gardens has rolled out a large new wedding facility on PIB.
