The Inspirational Baptist Church is planning a 1,500-seat worship/community center on the site of the former Surf Cincinnati waterpark.
The project will be built on 14.23 acres off of Sebring Drive, which also borders I-275.
The church bought the property in January 2006.
In the future, the church hopes to purchase additional adjacent acreage for sports facilites, social services, youth programs and a restaurant. The church is also in preliminary talks with the Windham group for a 99-room hotel and conference facility.
Inspirational Baptist Church, which turns 50 this September, is currently located on seven acres at 9208 Daly Road. Their congregation has grown from 300 to 1,700 in the last five years.
Surf Cincinnati closed due to bankruptcy in 2002.
