Immanuel Lutheran Ministries won t be forced to cut programs or close doors, but their debt isn t going away either. Author: Andrew Moore Updated: 6:47 PM CDT July 1, 2021
TEMPLE, Texas A local church is stuck paying a $57,010 power bill for the month of February, even after the energy company and Public Utility Commission took another look at the issue.
Immanuel Lutheran Ministries has a Temple campus and a Belton campus. They ve been with energy company Constellation since 2012 and recent energy bills at the Belton Campus ranged from $500 to $1,000 a month.
When they got a Belton campus bill for $57,010.78 after the winter storm, Pastor Dana Wilhelmsen thought it had to be a mistake.
