A few years ago, John Scalzi and his wife purchased a church building in Bradford, Ohio. People were shocked by the purchase and had many questions, leading Scalzi to create a Church FAQ. The couple did not buy the church to start a cult but rather to use as office space for their creative projects through Scalzi Enterprises. The building required significant renovations, including a new roof, electrical work, and more. Despite some concerns, the people of Bradford were generally supportive of the purchase. The church is now used for family gatherings and community events, maintaining a presence in civic life. Overall, the acquisition of the church has been a unique and practical venture for the Scalzis.
