(WVLT) – A pastor in suburban West Palm Beach says his church is buying a former strip club and will transform it into a house of worship. For Josh Mauney, the lead pastor of NewSound Church, his prayers – and the prayers of his congregation – have just been answered. “We’re so excited,” Mauney said. “I believe that God is opening up some doors that a 20-month-old church can’t open by themselves.”
NewSound Church holds services every Sunday at Wellington High School and has about 1,000 members. Now they’re buying a former bar and strip club called Double Dee’s Ranch and turning it into a church with seating for 600 to 700 people. “I don’t mind being in a building that was a strip club any more than I mind somebody walking in our doors that had at one time in their life been a stripper,” Mauney said.
