The outdoor recreation opportunities are nearly unbelievable. Each year thousands of people come from other states to enjoy all that is available. Even so, it is not crowded. See our Recreation page as a starter. You can take your family camping and only need to drive 20-30 minutes to get there!

Why do we offer to do this? Our church and our town has room to grow. We are looking for new people with the joy of life to join us in sharing that with this county. In fact, the town is encouraging creative employers or self employed to move here. There are shops available to rent or purchase at low prices.

We recognize that it is not easy to pick up stakes and relocate to a new area. This is why we offer to help you. We do hope that you will find our church as your new home church. We will help you find housing (no charge), new employment (no charge), help you unload your moving van (no charge) and see to it that you have a new extended family.

Love of Jesus is why we gather

Do you enjoy driving to work while viewing horses and cows in pasture? Do you enjoy seeing farmers on their tractors harvesting hay? A traffic jam here is defined as 3 cars in a row. We literally have a 360 degree view of mountains that are covered in snow and Aspens.

You can even see wildlife while driving home. Daily you can see Pronhorn antelope, deer, varieties of hawks, even Bald Eagles. During the migration season you will see Elk coming and going. Snakes and bugs are few and far between. The fields host numerous coyotes, ground hogs, and more.
