What ever happened of the old church and college campus?

Never saw the work but very familiar with Tom Malone. How many did the auditorium seat?

Cambridge or Oxford?
 
When I was growing up drove by their church many times. Dr Malone would preach for my pastor Dr Pennell. They were good friends. Dr LE Traxler became pastor and married us not knowing who we were. Dr Traxler is a faithful servant of God retired now . I attended Midwestern for a summer and got some extra credits. Its sad to see property now but there was no preplanning. I don't know who took everything over.

Not sure, but you could ask a preacher named Darren Tharp. His father, Phil Tharp was very closely connected to the church and college there for a good while. Phil was President of a theological seminary in Pontiac for years.

I know a family of Tharps in northern Michigan. The father is in a singing group with his brothers. Maybe related. 🤔

They ARE related. I grew up with Darren and his brothers. In fact Darren and his wife just left to go to Ireland to be with their son who is a missionary pastor in the Dublin area.
