Des Moines church closes after a century

A church that was started 117 years ago had its final sermon yesterday and the doors were closed. The chapel of Grant Park Christian Church on Des Moines' east side has called it quits after a declining number of members and a lack of financing. The church has been struggling for a decade or so and had 40 current members when it made the decision to close. They plan to gift the building to another church rather than sell.
