Founded February 14, 1909, this is, for two obvious reasons, not the first church of this congregation. One hint is given by a large old cast iron bell displayed in front of the church; another by the fact that the church's cornerstone is dated "1953". The church's online presence consists only of a Facebook page, so information from it consists solely of the fact that it was Founded on February 14, 1909.
Faced with both stone and brick, this church was even given buttresses down each side of the nave, giving it an "historic" look. Standing in the churchyard, in the centre of the side lawn is a structure about seven feet in height incorporating a stone bench. The structure is faced with stones which match those on the church. At the top of the structure is this large cross. About eight feet tall, it is a very plain steel cross, painted or powder coated a shiny black.
The structure has a bronze plaque mounted on its west side, dedicating it to one Cecil H. Beck.
