A local Lutheran church was given the go-ahead by the McFarland Plan Commission on Feb. 18 for an expansion and site design work. Risen Savior Lutheran Church, 5001 Holscher Road, sought permission for a 4,817-square-foot addition to the west side of its building.
Congregation President Chris Fredrick said the church would use the additional space for a fellowship hall, classrooms, kitchen and restrooms. The current building of 5,044 square feet is primarily worship space.
