WARRIOR — Rapid growth at a church in Warrior has forced it to find a new home.

Youth Force Ministries Church International (YFMCI) will be moving part of its congregation from Louisa Street to 430 Thomas St. in Warrior.

The first service in the new location is Feb. 14.

The church bought the former Farmers Gin and Tractor building and surrounding 9.2 acres. Crews have been renovating the facility to transform it into a place of worship.

“Anybody that’s been in there wouldn’t know it on the inside,” said Robin Bullock. “It’s really unique.”

Bullock and his wife, also named Robin Bullock, founded Youth Force and Church International in the 1980s. Together they make up YFMCI.

“It’s a broad ministry,” Bullock said. “We started Youth Force in the late ’80s, then the church part of it kept growing. Adults kept coming and kept coming.”

The Bullocks took Church International to Warrior three years ago when they moved there from Nashville.

Their Christian country music group Twice Robin had just been inducted into the Alabama Country Music Hall of Fame. The Bullocks were ready to settle down after being on the road for 30 years doing music and ministry.
