Our church story began sometime in the 1840’s. It was birthed through the efforts of circuit riding preachers who traveled by horse throughout rural Ingham County proclaiming the “Good News” of Jesus Christ. Several local farming families became Christians and formed a small Christian fellowship. Through the generous gift of property on the corner of the Howell-Mason Road and Dietz Road by J.A. Sly the fellowship was able to build a small church structure for meetings, which was dedicated February 6, 1898. It was known as the “Memorial Church” in memory of the departed wife of Mr. Sly.

The community assisted the small congregation in completing a brick building at the cost of $1,744.00. In those days that was a lot of money. It was a center of community activity and spiritual life until a tragic fire razed the structure in 1957.  Once again the church and community joined together to rebuild a portion of our present structure.  In 2001 the church began to grow in numbers and needed educational space for the younger families attending. God blessed us with additional land from Ron Hamblin and the funds began to come in. The building, which also included a new modern kitchen, was completed in 2002 and serves the current congregation well.  In 2009 we also completed an attached storage building to the south of the fellowship area which allows us to be very versatile for weekly events.

We are passionate about presenting the character, work and teaching of Jesus Christ to influence a new generation to become fully committed followers of our Lord. Thanks for checking us out. Come explore and experience the reality of Christ in your lives. You are warmly welcomed!
