DANVILLE — A resident who moved to Danville two years ago as a missionary and printed gospel tracts now hopes to open The Bible Museum in the former Center for Children’s Services building along Logan Avenue.
The Danville Area Planning and Zoning Commission at its Thursday meeting will consider recommending approval of petitioner Christopher Pickering’s request for a special-use permit to operate a cultural facility to be used as a Bible museum in a P1 — professional office zoning district — at 702 N. Logan Ave.
Pickering said Aunt Martha’s health center, which owned the long-vacant building, donated it to him.
He said what led him to creating a Bible museum is, “we’ve prayed about it.”
“(I’m) printing less now (gospel tracts) and have free time. It opened the way for this,” he said about this next endeavor.
