Church In A House

When I learned Tom Short, the sexist & homophobic preacher who goes to colleges to preach, was brought by there by the UNO group The Rock and that they are associated with a local church, I decided to make that church my next visit.  When I got to the address provided online for Candlewood Church, I found this:

This is Candlewood Church?  There were no cars there, and I was there during the time their services were supposedly going on.  Maybe they meet elsewhere.  But why hide it?  Why have a house as their listed address?  How do new members find them?  Perhaps it's an invite only kind of church.  That certainly would be an interesting method for a church who thinks Jesus commissioned them to convert the whole world.

I was already prepared to be creeped out by this church, but this was more creepy than I was expecting.  

Luckily, it just turned out to be because of a mix of bad information on the web and some rushed googling. With further research, I later found a working website (not sure how I didn't find it in the morning) for them that shows they meet in a local school.  I wonder if it's a public(ly funded) school.  I guess I know my plans for next Sunday morning.

Edit:  This morning and moments before I published this, www.candlewoodcc.org/ was a broken link. Minutes after publishing, it's redirecting to their other website.  Hmm . . .
