Looking to our History

 

We celebrated growing up with Elyria with a public community event on Ely Square.

We traced our roots through a historical tour of the church's previous locations.

Looking to our Future

We dreamed, imagined, and envisioned our next 200 years!

A new committee formed, tasked with developing plans for bringing life back into unused parts of our church building.
