SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A former megachurch complex in San Antonio has been sold as the congregation of about 3,000 dwindled to a couple of hundred.
The San Antonio Express-News (bit.ly/RGmKgQ) reported Monday that Harvest Fellowship Community Church in late August sold the buildings and property to a development company. The nondenominational, evangelical church’s Loop 1604 site includes 60,000 square feet of facility space.

Elder David Keith says there are not enough members to support the buildings and the mortgage. Keith says the congregation, which will worship at the site through 2013 as part of a lease, hopes to operate without debt.
Membership began to decline after Senior Pastor Peter Spencer, who founded the church in 1988, left in 2003.
