Business doubles as a church, for now
SPRING HILL � You snooze, you lose. But not at this new church. As of July 29, the new and independent Cornerstone Baptist Church meets at the Florida Sleep Institute on Mariner Boulevard near Northcliffe, but only until it grows enough to acquire its own property and build a facility. Meanwhile, the Kohler family, who owns and operates the sleep institute, are using the business for Sun-day and Thursday church meetings. �Want to rest in (eternal) peace? Come to this church,� quipped the Rev. Richard Rossiter. One Kohler family member said the Rev. Rossiter, pastor of the church, impres-ses him by the way he gives sermons that �certainly WON�T put you to sleep... He is an enthusiastic, down-to-earth pastor that preaches a practical message based on the Holy Scripture.
