How it all started...
Emmanuel Chapel Bible Church 1942-2015
This ministry started in 1942 when a minister named James L Stone began pastoring a group of people at this location after a man by the name of Edger Welch donated the property for the church the previous year. James Stone retired as pastor about 1979 and passed away in 1983. Afterwards there were six other pastors including Loren Heisz. Pastor Loren Heisz passed away in 2015. According to former members it was because of several years of declining membership and the passing of Pastor Heisz the remaining membership decided to close the church instead of search for a pastor. The church closed in August of 2015
