ABOUT US
HISTORY
On a cold December 5th in 1878, Elder Thomas Whitman gathered about twenty friends together in a small one room schoolhouse about a half mile west of US 33. The weather may have been cold, but the spirit was warm as they discussed a new church. A decision was reached to form a congregation of the Christian Church. A member donated the land and in October of 1880, the church was dedicated. The historic present day building, boasting a beautiful brick exterior & stunning stained glass windows, was erected and dedicated in 1920.
