We didn't get to see the inside because it was 7:30 on a Wednesday night. The views of the sun set were amazing though. It was also neat to open the gate that surounds the graveyard. To think that I was opening a gate that was opened by people many years befor myself was neat.

I didn't actually visit the church but my daughter attends there. We used their auxillary building for her baby shower. That building is great. Very roomy, has a well supplied kitchen that is completely modern and set up great. There is a really nice patio off the back of the building, which we didn't use, complete with tables and they even have umbrellas. This is a great place for birthday parties or even family reunions. It is available for rent but you need to reserve it and agree to very reasonable expectations.
