We are a historical church but in a relatively new and paid for church facility in Jasper IN. Due to denominational differences we are left with a handful of congregants and a need for an individual to catch the vision for rebuilding this church. We are in the process of associating with the ARPC. There is not reformed church within a 60 mile radius so there is a real need to reach out to this community and beyond.
