Baptist Church Fights Off Takeover

Court of Appeals: New congregation illegally took land and church building from old congregation

"Parks Chapel Free Will Baptist Church and Kingdom Impact Global Ministries have been battling in court since November 2013 for a church building and land at and around 868 Amye St. Members of Parks Chapel accused Kingdom Impact of illegally taking possession of their sanctuary and kicking them out of it."

"The Court of Appeals on Tuesday upheld Wallace's decision to return the property to Parks Chapel. Among the reasons, appeals court Judge Lucy Inman wrote that Jackson did not have the authority to transfer the property to Kingdom Impact without the signatures of all the Parks Chapel trustees, so the land transfer violated state law. Judges John Tyson and Wanda Bryant concurred."
