The present day: the sweep, and the two exclusions it had to make

The directory sweeps of November 2026: Notre Dame's Places of Worship list; the Christian directory listings for South Bend; the county church-records file (below)

No congregation stands at a Roseland town address in any current directory reached — no listing on the town's low-numbered Dixie Way blocks or its side streets, in the university's worship directory, the Christian directory services, or the county genealogical society's church-records table, which files the county's churches by place (South Bend, Mishawaka, Osceola, Walkerton, North Liberty, Granger) and carries no Roseland entry and no Roseland-named church. The sweep's value is in its exclusions, because the corridor generates false positives: Berean Bible Church (52890 State Road 933) is the single most likely source of a "Roseland church" claim — its address is a county-numbered highway address north of the town strip, geocoding to South Bend, and it is a boundary congregation, not an in-town one; and Final Word Ministries (53995 State Road 933) meets in a hotel conference center south of the town, again outside it. Both print here so neither is promoted into the town by a later hand. No record of a congregation ever occupying the town strip — and so none of one closing or leaving it — was found in any era searched.
