TRUSSVILLE — The former Eastminster Presbyterian Church property on U.S. Highway 11 in Trussville is now under contract to an automotive dealer.
The 5.5-acre site has been contracted to Serra Automotive for $1,951,000.
The Presbytery of Sheppards and Lapsley approved the deal Thursday. In the Presbyterian denomination, the Presbytery must approve the sale of property, said Dixie Robinson, an elder at Cahaba Springs Presbyterian Church in Trussville.
The plan for the property could be for a Serra Kia dealership.
The Eastminster congregation merged two years ago with Grace Presbyterian Church to form Cahaba Springs Presbyterian Church, which is located on Deerfoot Parkway in Trussville.
Last year, Shannon-Waltchack was taking bids on the Eastminster property.
