    We visited here as a family in December of 2024. Very friendly congregation. Very welcoming people. They teach the Word of God literally which is what Jesus said to do. They had a fellowship meal after the worship service in another building. I am attaching a picture of the of that building to this review.

    This is a Conservative Mennonite church, a peace church practicing pacifism. They have retained a core of traditional beliefs based on a literal interpretation of the New Testament scriptures. Women have a uniform style dress and cover their heads as encouraged by the very influential Mennonite bishop Daniel Kauffman, who codified the Anabaptist theological text Manual of Bible Doctrines. All music is accapella, there are no instruments. Seating is comfortable with little stools for those like me who are short. Such a blessing!❤️ And, like the Amish Mennonite, there's a community leader chosen to deliver a message from God. The King James Bible is the only Bible they use. Get ready with antsy little ones or antsy adults 😀, the services are long. Even longer than a Catholic Mass 😃 and there's a lot of singing in divided voice parts. Sounds beautiful ❤️.
