Bernard Squires, Pastor of the Grace Baptist Church in Columbia City, faces charges of distributing child pornography after a federal grand jury indicted him.
No one answered the phone at Grace Baptist Church on Thursday afternoon. The churchs doors were locked.
Neighbors say they never noticed any unusual behavior at the church. One neighbor said Squires would sometimes knock on doors of homes near the church and invite people to come to his service.
The indictment lists cds, floppy disks, vhs tapes and a laptop among other items used to distribute child pornography.
