This is a "mission" whose listing under the mother "church" doesn't link to a page on the missions network website. Probably something like 10-15% of the "missions" fall into this category. Remember, they list missions -- quite a large portion of them, actually -- with addresses and phone number that correspond to mail drops, and back rooms of members homes and businesses, so to not list anything at all shows that not even a token currently exists. As far as I can tell, they are almost all organizational fictions of some sort; former missions that have closed shop but not officially been declared dead yet, or missions that are "postulated" to open but are unlikely to (the overall trend that I can see on CoS' lists for the last couple of years is for ten missions to close, or fail to every open, for every one that opens).
