A web search turned up little information on this country church -- just a mention on the
Baptist Missionary of the Ozarks website. But the church sign has the service times. The church is well kept and has original stained-glass windows.
Each of the side windows, and the 2 front windows on each side of the entrance, has color-patterned stained glass with an embedded fleur-de-lis. The large semi-circular window above the entrance door does not have a fleur-de-lis, but has the same kind of color patterns in its stained glass that is found in all of the other windows.
Each window is also protected with an outer layer of plexiglas. Unfortunately, the plexiglas makes it very difficult to take photos of the windows, though the human eye can see them clearly. They are bound to look better at certain times of the day. For example, the main entrance faces east, so it may best be viewed in the morning.
