Favorite Little Churches in Detroit

Waterman United Methodist Church - the church I attended as a child. It went from Lewerenz and Fort Street to Waterman Street in the late 60s/early 70s. Anyone know the name of the church before it moved to Waterman? I know the church moved in the late 70s/80s [[?), but not sure where and what the name of it is now.

Here is a bit of the R.L. Polk City Directory 1928-29 from Lewerenz @ W. Fort Street.

You'll see that Olivet Presbyterian Church was at the NW corner at that time. It is now at 707 Lewerenz in an apparently different church. Interesting to note that the lovely Italianate style house on the NE Corner was a school.
