DETROIT - The Satanic Temple has something planned for Detroit.

WXYZ reports that later in July, The Satanic Temple plans to erect a one-ton, nine-foot-tall statue of a satanic symbol in the city.

The bronze statue was originally supposed to go up at Oklahoma's state capitol, but the Baphomet statue was supposed to be unveiled at Bert's Warehouse in Detroit's Eastern Market.

The Detroit unveiling was cancelled, WXYZ reports.

The Satanic Church said they have a strong membership in the city of Detroit. There are no details as to when or where the statue will be unveiled in Detroit.

In the WXYZ report, David Bullock, a member of the Greater St. Matthew Baptist Church in Detroit, asked at a protest why the church needs to put up that statue in Motown.

"They were kicked out of Boston, Oklahoma didn't want them...Why do they come to Detroit?"

In a February interview with MLive, The Satanic Temple of Detroit's director Jex Blackmore said the group, which then had about 20 active members, was in an "incredible position" for growth.

"We want to bring people in and empower them to be active Satanists in their personal lives," Blackmore said then. "Then we can all come together and do work when there's a need -- when there's a political need, a need for some kind of action."

In December, the church put up a "Snaketivity" display on the Michigan Capitol's lawn in Lansing.

Blackmore said the following about the organization garnering a lot of questions from Metro Detroiters:

The Satanic Temple had its official launch at Dally in the Alley in September 2014.
