Church without walls
Church Without Walls holds a service on a street corner on some Friday evenings in the summer. In early July, it met at the corner of Alma and Summit streets in the north end of Flint.
“We do this five times a year,” said the pastor, the Rev. Martez Warren. “We’ve been doing this for two years, and 50 to 70 people show up. We lead a lot of people to come to Christ.”
The church reaches out to those who might not be welcomed in other churches, he said, those who do not have a job and may not have a place to live.
“We grab those people and help them. It’s wonderful to see people who came through the door smelling of alcohol, then look at the same person six months later.
“They have a better life, a better time with their kids. They are delivered from alcohol. You can see the transformation of the person who was on their way to death and now they have life again.”
Warren served as president of Five Fold Ministries prior to starting Church Without Walls and said he always had a desire to reach out to hurting people.
In May 2002, he and five members began the Church Without Walls at Olive Branch Mission on Oak Street.
