Non-notable church. The article is one big advertisement with text from its own website, and there is very little secondary information available online to support its importance. —Notorious4life (talk) 15:54, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep--this is considered a historic house of worship by the Detroit Historical Society. Here is a news article with in depth coverage about a special church service at the church. Along with references #1 and #3 from the article, this means the article is notable...also, here are three news articles about their employees Epiphyllumlover (talk) 01:08, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment: The link provided above by NotButtigieg is a self-published source listed on Reliable sources/Perennial sources as an unreliable source to be avoided when making references.  This link (historic house of worship) simply lists the church on a Historic Houses of Worship tour, while providing no other information at all.  Appearing on a list of four other Monroe churches for a commercial tour does not create notability.  This news article is about a little girl's first communion with no additional information about the church itself.  These three links, , merely describe three employees at the church with no other descriptions about the church itself, other than the name of the church appearing as their new workplace.  —Notorious4life (talk) 02:53, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
 * "no additional information about the church itself"-the information about the parish is about half-way through--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 05:38, 11 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep articles about buildings of historical and architectural interest are usually kept. It is passing the Earwig tool copyvio test and any promotionalism can be edited out, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 16:21, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Building of historical and architectural interest, this probably of NRHP quality. Article may need work, but not a reason to delete.Djflem (talk) 21:04, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per my standards for notable churches. "The building is more than 100 years old ("The present building was built from 1866-1867") ... "It ... is notable for its architecture" (see two images), and "It has been notably large for its denomination, either in the size of the buildings or its congregation numbers" (1,200 congregants).

 * Keep per others. Its parochial school adds to notability, too.  About NRHP listing, many churches which would be eligible choose not to participate. --Doncram (talk) 14:02, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
