Construction is underway on a large facility of a multi-campus church in the Dayton Mall, and it’s only months from being complete.
The Former Sears location at the Dayton Mall is becoming the Dayton Campus of Crossroads Church.

They had previously been meeting at Bellbrook Middle School each Sunday, but will soon be moving into a brand new facility.

Castleman says Crossroads is not a traditional church so building a new facility and huge sanctuary at a mall location doesn’t impact anyone there.
