A religious group aiming to build a church in South Barrington is facing pushback from local residents who are frustrated with the process in how the land was purchased.

The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, a Christian sect with over 40,000 members worldwide, is aiming to build a church on a 35-acre plot of land near the intersection of Route 59 and West Bartlett Road.

"They purchased this land for $3 million in 2004, they're looking to sell for $1.7 million. Real estate is just as hot as 2004, we're concerned about taxpayer dollars and why it's sold at such a loss, particularly when real estate is so hot," resident Sage Fattahian told NBC Chicago.
