Related: About this forumChurch builds new place of worship out of former strip club
BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. -- A group of Boynton Beach churchgoers is finding God in a former strip club.
A building that recently served as an adult club with nude dancing is now a place of worship.
The transformation is just about complete. Pastor Dumont Pierre of the new Evangelical Assembly of Christ Church on North Federal Highway stood in the exact spot where female dancers shed their clothing for paying customers.
"The poles used to be right there, right there in the middle," he said, pointing to the center of his new church.
Pastor Pierre said the former strip club was a place where sin ran rampant for far too long.

They'd be better off calling 1800 Steemer!!!
