Gastonia church finds new home, and more"The Place" Church caught fire on Christmas Day, and was completely demolished. Remnants of the church sit inside a fence in their former location along York Highway.News of the fire prompted a phone call from another pastor. “The pastor that was pastoring [Chapel Grove Church of God], had been pastor for seven years, and they had been through some struggles and couldn’t support itself financially,” said Pastor Ron Duncan. “He said, ‘This is a great opportunity. You had a disaster and we’re in a dilemma, as well.” The congregations have since combined.The new location boasts more parking, a larger sanctuary, and a gymnasium.
