Spokane Police are investigating a car that crashed through a wall at Life Center church on Government Way.

The accident wasn't noticed until a passing security guard saw the hole in the wall. He reported the accident to police, but the driver was no where to be found.

The car destroyed the stage, causing thousands of dollars worth of damage. Police believe this may have been intentional. They say there is no sign the driver braked before impact.

This was the church where I met Mrs. Hoagy62 and was my church for several years. Many of my friends still go there. Because of the way the church is situated on the property, and the fact the the road doesn't even come close to the point of entry, this had to be intentional.

The pastor, Joe Wittwer, is a real man of God and doesn't compromise on the truth. I know he has preached that homosex is wrong. Makes me wonder if a militant queer did this....or if it was someone who was convicted by something he said.

This church will move on and use this for God's glory....somehow.

Whatever happened to separation of church and state?

Poor humor aside...thank goodness no one in the church was hurt.

It troubles me that a church is described as having a “stage.” I know this may just be journalistic sloppiness, but a lot of churches wouldn’t shrink from this description.

As if a “performance” or “theater” is expected in that holy place.

Funny how cars drive themselves nowadays................

Secretary of State Kerry and his friends in Saudi Arabia suspect it was a woman driver.

A lot of storefront type of churches and other independent non-denominationals have ‘stages’................

thinking the same thing....the car must have had an issue with the church.

This is the church in question....

Life Center Foursquare Church

I hope the EOD team checked the vehicle for det charges; It might have been an Islammokazi mission that semi failed when the car proved to be a dud after the obligatory “Allahu Achbwah!”

The murder of the British Soldier started when the Musloids intentionally ran him over; apparently the Mullahs are teaching them to use vehicles as weapons of Jihad now.

I’ve got to wonder how many “accidents” - especially hit & runs - really are?

It troubles me that a church is described as having a “stage.”

It is a stage, they also have a state of the art sound system, video etc.

They have an outstanding band and put on excellent plays.

Its a very upbeat church with a solid biblical foundation.

Its nondenominational with an uplifting message which is expertly enhanced by the professionalism of the actors, singers and other volunteers. The pastor is one of the best I have heard.

I really should go more often.

It used to be churches had a pulpit, a point of focus for expounding the riches of the gospel.

Now, they have entertainment.

Jesus weeps, and is angry.
