RACINE, WI (WTAQ) - A Racine County church says it will file for bankruptcy reorganization in order to retain possession of its church building.

True Life Ministries has been asked to pay off its $4 million construction loan.  Tri City National Bank recently took over that loan when the Bank of Elmwood was shut down.

True Life Ministry Pastor Jeff Butler calls the bank’s request for payment “hostile.”

Butler told the congregation the church would be filing for bankruptcy during Sunday's service in Mount Pleasant.
