Man Accused Of Running Swingers Club Offers Tour; Says It's Church

A man accused of running a swingers club in Huntingdon, Westmoreland County, said he's actually running a church. He took Channel 11 inside to try prove it.

The Rev. John Ondrik of the Church of Spiritual Humanity granted Channel 11 the first ever television access to what he calls a sacred sanctuary.

For 30 years, the building on Turner Valley Road was a swingers club. North Huntingdon officials believe it still is one.

Inside, the reverend showed Channel 11 a wedding chapel complete with candles and couches for members of the wedding party.

The lighted ceilings in the hallway are the only remnants of the old swingers club, he said.

"I was denied to operate a church because of what the place used to be," said Ondrik.

He admits there are a lot of beds and couches inside, but said they're all for church members.

Ondrik said, "This building has nothing to do with a sex club."
