Still exists?

This article has a flaw being it is not clear if the church still exists. Ryan White Jr. (talk) 06:17, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It does still exist, but I guess the only real indication in the article is that I used "is" in the lead. I was going to link to the church's homepage under external links, but it has blaring much that plays when you open the page and I find that so annoying. I think there there are ton of mentions in recent sources on Google News, but it might take a while to find the useful ones. Qrsdogg (talk) 15:10, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
