CHARLOTTE — A Charlotte church is turning one of its vacant sites into a townhome community, while its current property is slated for a mixed-use development in the future.
Those plans come after Selwyn United Methodist Church and Grace United Methodist Church merged in February 2020 to form Woodlawn Community Fellowship, as a result of declining membership. That merger left the property at 3100 Selwyn Ave. vacant.

In September, Charlotte City Council approved the rezoning of 1.74 acres to accommodate 36 townhomes known as Selwyn Towns. The community will replace the existing church off Selwyn Avenue as the congregation has moved to the Grace campus at 737 E. Woodlawn Road.
