TRENDING STORIES:

News Center 7′s Malik Patterson spoke with ******* leaders about the closing of First Lutheran *******. It was one of the first churches in Dayton. It’s been around for 185 years.

Sunday’s service was different than the typical service.

The head of southwest Ohio’s Lutheran *******’s Bishop delivered Sunday’s message.

Patterson said the ******* lost its minister back in 2022. Members also stopped attending and changes had to be made.

200 people attended the service at First Lutheran *******. Many were people who had never been to the *******.

But they wanted to see the historical ******* for the first and final time.

News Center 7 spoke with one man who hopes the ******* is kept up and not destroyed.

“I just don’t want to see it torn down frankly. So, if it becomes an event center, I don’t really care honestly. I just want to see it remain. See it up-kept because it’s beautiful,” said Conner Fazzari.

Patterson says the ******* council and Lutheran Bishop have to figure out who they can sell it to.

They want to sell it to another *******, but it is going to cost millions.

We will update this story.
