The Lord has blessed us with a lovely facility which is quietly nestled among gently rolling hills, far from the noises and stresses of life. In fact, our beautiful church building has been honored as an official historic site. It looks like a scene right out of a painting; a white country church surrounded by fields and forest.
The history of this magnificent structure goes back to the 1800's, when a circuit rider with a passion for Christ first came to this area. Before long, revival broke out and many lives were changed as they personally encountered the magnificent glory of the Lord. It is our deep desire to keep those wonderous flames of our heritage burning bright. How far would you drive to experience the presence, peace, and power of God? Come join us for "revival in the country"!
