Praise Fellowship Christian Church held its last service on Oct. 9 after 11 years of ministry to the Detroit LGBT community. In an email sent by Rev. Rick Green he wrote, "Only God knows how many lives were touched over the years, how many came to know of God's love and care for His LGBT children. We are blessed to know that God used Praise Fellowship to bring many back to faith and many to reconcile their faith and orientation, or gender expression."
Over the years Praise Fellowship worked with the Ruth Ellis Center, held concerts, conferences, homosexuality and the Bible seminars, was a presence at Motor City Pride and helped build a school and church in the Dominican Republic.
"Never allow someone to keep you from being a person of faith. Find a community of faith that affirms who God made you to be and get involved," Rev. Green said in closing.
