A Testament of Faith

It’s been many years since any services were held in this old church building. Yet, it’s history speaks to another era.

Across the road, and out of the picture, is a cemetery once belonging to the congregation that used to meet here. Just beyond the church, a crossroads is barely visible.

You may say that based on the location of the cemetery and roads meeting nearby, this structure stood at the intersection of faith and life.

There was a time when buildings like this were at the center of many communities. From raising children to follow God, to providing a final resting place, churches played an important role for generations of families. Passing along the cemetery today, one will see many last names that have ties to the area.

While times have changed, these old church buildings are a testament to the Bible’s timeless truths of Christ’s love and forgiveness to those who seek Him.

Have a great day!
