I’ve been going to this church since 2010 and it’s 2018 so 8 years of going to this amazing church! The sermons that are preached are amazing! There is even a time that Pastor Lloyd makes just for the kids during service! After the kids answer some question ( if they want to), Pastor Lloyd gives them snacks. Something the kids will enjoy! This church is a friendly environment where everybody knows everybody! Hope you stop on by!

This is my home, my family. My eyes fill with tears as I look at these pictures - so far away, so long ago. My husband and I were married here 1975. Karen Knutson Williams
