More on First Baptist Church
Description from Wikipedia:
The First Baptist Church of Hammond is a fundamentalist Independent Baptist church in Hammond, Indiana. It is the largest church in the state of Indiana. Though founded in 1887, under Jack Hyles' leadership from 1959-2001 it became one of the megachurches in the United States and during the 1970s had the highest Sunday school attendance of any church in the world. It has a steady weekly attendance of around 20,000. It also operates Hyles-Anderson College, a non-accredited institution, and two K-12 schools, called City Baptist Schools (for children of the bus route of the church) and Hammond Baptist Schools (for children of the members of the church). Jack Schaap, Hyles' son-in-law, succeeded as pastor after Hyles' death in 2001.
The church has been involved in a few controversies in recent decades, including a conviction of sexual molestation by one of its deacons in 1993, and accusations of adultery and financial misconduct made by a former employee.
