Leaders of a Coast church eyeing expansion into a former tourist attraction say they are willing to meet with any neighbours worried about the development. Reaction has been mixed from nearby residents, with some happy about the possibility of a church moving in next door and others concerned about its impacts. Mons residents Craig and Kristen Porter are pleased with a church s proposal to build on a block next door. Monarch Place residents Craig and Kristen Porter share a boundary with the proposed church site. The Porters were attracted to the rainforest feel of the area when they built at Mons six years ago.
