"What I love best about our church are the people. There are so many people that volunteer here so many hours and give so much to so many people and I was very fortunate to receive a quilt from the Quilters when I was under going chemotherapy . It made me feel very cared for and loved. So thank you to all those volunteers that make many people very happy and very close to God."

"It’s all the things you can do even outside the church services. Whether its fellowship after church or confirmation classes on Wednesday nights. It’s going to meals that they have here, rummage sales, helping out with the kids, and helping others that go to our church or within the community."

"I really like the Pastors. Pastor Lehman has a great sense of humor
and I like his sermons. I like Pastor Sara - she’s very well spoken.
I also like everyone who goes here. They are very nice and friendly.
It’s the people."

" The church has been a family and a community. We have been blessed to be involved in worship in a number of different ways. Our Kids go to Sunday School...
and I love to play the guitar in the Celebration service with the Celebration group. It's a lot of fun!...
And our kids love to come down for fellowship for cookies!"

"I love looking around the church and seeing all my great-grandparent's descendants in the congregation. If they were alive, they would be so happy to see them all in the church they joined in 1868 from Norway."

"I liked when we moved here that people at church were very supportive. We made a lot of friends here and my daughter made a lot of friends here when she didn’t feel like she had many friends at school.  That was really important to us.”
