Not much to write about in regards to this church other than it looks to have been in existence since at least the early 1900s, possibly the late 1800s based on its Gothic-revival architecture. It was possibly a Methodist church at one time based on reading the history of the Willamette Valley and knowing a large Methodist population emigrated to this area in the mid-to-late 1800s.

A few citizen memorials including a memorial garden are located near the building.

The current pastor is Glenn Bigelow and I had a chuckle when reading the sign in front of the church for passersby which reads: "Bring Your Marshmallows, Our Pastor is On Fire"

Love it!
