I don't know why but it never dawned on me to ✍🏻 a review till just now lol I suppose better late than never, anyhow I was in Wisconsin rapids some years back during Thanksgiving week and the day I was leaving idk what possessed me to go for a walk that very cold and snowy morning but I did and I'm glad I did too. As I was just going for a stroll in the neighborhood where my friend lives out of nowhere I noticed a church and I'm not going to lie yeah I was a bit hesitant at first but I also remember having this feeling like maybe I should go & check it out. Needless to say everyone there knew the moment I set foot inside that i wasn't a local but everyone still did the polite & respectful thing & greeted me and took the time to introduce themselves which I thought was pretty cool of them to be honest, all in all it was very welcoming and I don't regret going if anything when I go back to visit my friend I'll definitely make it a point to stop by & stop in

Surely the presence of the LORD is in this place. Pastor Milt's messages are always old time bible teaching with relevance to life today. The congregation is friendly and although membership seems small the good they do in the community and beyond our boarders is big. God bless you.

Caring members who trust God for their needs. Pastor is a bit quiet and laid back but speaks God’s heart, and people are touched by the Holy Spirit. This church welcomes all and there are many saved sinners here who have found the Living Christ.
