Pine Hills Church

Pine Hills Church is a church of about 1,000 people in weekly attendance. It is located at 4704 Carroll Road in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The church was founded at 11331 Coldwater Road in 1970 as an FEC planting effort. The original property is on a lease-to-own with Pine Hills Learning Place, a closely related daycare center.
History
The church was founded in 1970 at 11331 Coldwater Road as an FEC Church Planting Effort. The church outgrew the property and sought a larger facility in 2010.
The interest in the current property started in 2010 when the church sought a large building to hold its 40th anniversary celebration service and found the Carroll Road Christian Church Campus and the church allowed Pine Hills to use the facility. The church then put just under US$970,000 into the renovation of the property.
On October 6, 2013 Pine Hills celebrated 1 year at the Carroll Road campus.
Facility
The Carroll Road facility features a large gym, a fully operational Commercial-sized kitchen, a large Worship Center, a mini Coffee Shop, and live television streams of the Worship Center. The Worship Center features 2 audience screens, 1 stage-facing screen, 3 Sony Cameras, a custom build stage, and a custom built backdrop or set.
