Church groups move to warehouses

In the far west of Pembroke Pines, 10 churches and Christian groups
have decided to put offices, classes and sanctuaries in converted
warehouse spaces. The groups range from an African-American congregation
to two Spanish-language churches. At first many moved to the spaces
because of tight budgets; now, they say they like them. “It helped us
get creative,” said Melissa Mashburn of the West Pines Community Church.
