Being curious, I looked into this church a bit. It does not have a website, which kind of suggests it's not especially large. A local resource says it's Pentecostal. I C & P'ed the address for the church and went to Google Maps Satellite view. The capture was dated 9/2016. The building looks possibly abandoned. There's a grass lot to the left of it, and the lot to the right is a fenced-off construction site - it looks like a concrete pad - with a porta-can next to the "church building". Behind the "church building" is an alley. The only parking is on the street.
What I'm suggesting is that this church may exist, but it's influence is pretty minimal. And the pastor looks more like a noise maker than a significant leader in his community. I could be wrong, but it looks like the MSM are inflating his significance or have credulously taken him as significant.
