The Church is located along TX-53 about eleven miles east of Temple, TX.
Next to it is a large cemetery. The church and cemetery are surrounded by pasture and crops.
The church is wood with a separate tower on the side. The emblem on the top does not appear to be a cross. The tower is enclosed so you can't see if there are bells or not.
The windows are stained glass.
Marker Text:
