2022-03-26 - The church has no website, but a Facebook page of sorts that describes the service as having two hymns using organ and three hymns using electric guitars and drums... The church is a handsome brick structure which appears to date from the 1860s. No interior photos are readily available, but a Youtube recording of a guitar hymn sung during a recent service shows the lower half of a nineteenth-century case in the background. -Scot Huntington
