Church Inc.

The Church Inc. in Oildale, Calif., is only a year old but has outgrown its first building, a former tattoo shop, and is expanding to the building next door while keeping its mission of reaching out to the area's homeless and drug addicted. "When I was on the streets before I got saved, I did not understand or identify with your typical church setting. I know what many of these people in Oildale deal with. I have been there myself and we preach the message of forgiveness through freedom in Christ,' said Pastor Eddie Houghtaling.
