My extended family attend there.
My family helped start this church back in the early 1980s and they originally met in an old Bi-Level House on Carroll Road and the congregation was more or less a reorganization of an older previously disbanded Church of the Brethren congregation called Fort Wayne Church of the Brethren which was in Downtown Fort Wayne.
I actually grew up going to this church with my grandparents and have fond memories of going to this church with them. My grandparents were also the custodians of this church for many years and I remember going there and helping them clean and also playing the piano in the fellowship hall there for my grandmother while she helped my grandfather clean the church.
And despite what Mr. Howard says this is NOT a pagan temple! In fact Mr. Howard's review dishonored my Grandfather's memory (my Grandfather passed away the day before his birthday in 2012 of Leukemia) my Grandfather was a great man and devoted a lot of time to this church as a Deacon, Custodian, and Head Usher. Plus my parents got married in this church back in 1987.
Now I realize this church isn't the same as it was when I went there when I went there when I was a kid or when my family first helped start the church in the early 1980s or even when my grandparents were still going there just before my Grandfather passed away in 2012 but that is NO REASON for MR. Howard to call this church a Babylonian Temple or a Group of Pagans! That is NOT the Christian thing to do! I don't care if Mr. Howard had a "bad experience" at this church or not, you don't call a fellow group of Christians pagans unless they are actually doing something that goes against the Bible (like supporting gay marriage for instance which last I checked this church doesn't do that).
I would appreciate it if anyone who is considering coming to this church and is looking at these reviews to please disregard Mr. Howard's horrendous review as it doesn't actually reflect what this church is really like it's just some disgruntled visitor's poorly worded opinion of what HE thought it was like and not what it's actually like (someone who apparently isn't very familiar with 18th century German Protestant worship traditions which are very solemn and not as rowdy as the American Non-Denominational Megachurch traditions which popped up in the last quarter of the 20th century and early 21st century which this guy apparently mistook that for paganism).
Thanks for your consideration!
