Times were good when church leaders at Family Christian Center decided to build a new worship center and make improvements on their 11-acre property 10 years ago. They added a new sanctuary called The Father's House and meeting rooms for community outreach.

Shortly afterward, a portion of the congregation split and formed another church. Others left after Family Christian Center changed its worship style. With fewer members and less in donations, church leaders refinanced their loan with a balloon payment due in September 2009. When it came time to restructure their loan, Oliver said, "everything had changed."
