Location: Hillside and MacDade Blvd

Ministry hours: Worship meeting- 9:30 am Sunday

Denomination: Protestant non-denominational

Mission statement: To teach the message of the Bible in an understandable manner to both young and old.

A brief history: Mr. Nickelson, an Irish evangelist, held meetings in a rented room in the Odd Fellows Hall in Darby in the fall of 1914. Many came to know the Lord during those meetings and the attendance became an issue. The congregation needed a bigger space. The land the church now resides became available for purchase in the fall of 1920 and arrangements made for a groundbreaking ceremony. No record available yet as to when it took place. The present building was constructed during the spring and summer of the following year by the men of the congregation. The church has in the past sponsored a Pioneer Girls group, and other activities such as the "Friday Nighters". a youth group that would meet Friday nights to participate in various activities.

Mode of worship: Four pastors "shepherd the flock" by leading in worship, but everyone is free to speak during the service.
