Affiliated with the CBAA (newly renamed, "Venture Church Network") a biblically conservative Evangelical group of Christians of the Baptist persuasion. Church has a thriving food pantry for the town, an Awana program for kids, a midweek Bible class most of the year, and of course the primary church service Sunday morn.
