This is a small frame church out in the country, in a village, which is no more a village but a spot in the road.
It is a octagon shaped building, with no tower, no cross mounted above, as many church have. It has a cemetery to the western side, and a gathering pavilion to the north of the parking lot.
"Price's Branch Christian Church is a faithful body of Christ followers. Come as you are and be accepted. God does not need us to be perfect or have our life straightened out to come to him. He as our creator knows how flawed we are. We are in need of our Savior Jesus Christ to give us the strength as he through the Holy Spirit helps us to live better as we grow in righteousness. We don't agree on everything but we chose to love each other anyways and stand strong in an uncertain time. We have found that different beliefs aren't always bad they can stretch us in areas to form more compassion and patience. With that said we also believe there are core beliefs to be a true Christian. There is only one way to Eternal Salvation and that is through Jesus Christ our Lord. We chose to not let the minors of Christianity overpower the majors that cannot be removed. There is one true God who is triune in nature. He revealed himself in his infallible word the Bible. Please contact us if you would like to know more in-depth about our beliefs.
