STREATOR – A motion for a Streator Church to purchase an elementary school was approved in a board meeting, Tuesday. Church of the Open Bible will purchase Oakland Park School to make a community center naming it Oakland Park Commons. Pastor of the Open Bible Church, Rodney Keier sought ways for it to be an asset to the community and believes the commons will add significant value. The community center will provide outreach programs, youth activities, and art classes for adults. The Oakland Park Commons is expected to be open within the next year.
