Pictures!
This is the first building we rented to hold church services in. It is a 40X40 foot metal building that had been used as a garage. After months of advertising, knocking on over 5000 doors, and lots of time and money spent in the building, we were told three days before our first service that we could not meet there. We were able to hold our first service there in which we had 34 people! After that we met in the local high school auditorium for three weeks. But God had better things on the way!
In October, we began meeting in an old Seventh Day Adventist Church. It was in great shape and the Lord just worked out the details for us to move in and start having services there. It is a spacious church building with a nice auditorium, baptistry, piano, & organ. The nursery is amazing with lots of room, storage, and sinks. There are two classrooms, a fellowship hall, and a fully equipped kitchen. The Lord truly has blessed us with a wonderful place to meet!
FIRST FALL FESTIVAL In October 2005 we hosted our first ever Fall Festival. This is an alternative to Halloween where kids can come out, play games, get candy, and everyone hears the gospel. We had a chili cookoff and lots of activities for the kids! We had a great turnout for our first Fall Festival!

Painting our Church!
In September 2006, a youth group from Faith Baptist Church in Spokane came down to help us paint the outside of our building. All of the paint and supplies were donated by a pastor in Georgia. What a blessing! In one day, we were able to get the entire church transformed from peeling, fading green to bright, bold blue! We believe in taking care of God's house and this was just one way we could do that. 
On September 11, 2007 we celebrated the second anniversary of our church! Pastor Roger Baker from King, NC was our guest speaker. We also recognized our local police and firefighters that day for all of their hard work in our community. It was a great day with great preaching, food, and fellowship!
Praise the Lord Macedonia Independent Baptist Church has a brand new roof! On May 21st, 2007 a group from Craftsmen for Christ started work tearing out the old roof. In just 4 days, the old roof was gone, boards were replaced, and the new roof was in place! In addition to the roof, they replaced rotting boards, repaired sheetrock in the ladies bathroom and a Sunday School classroom, painted some trim around the church and did some other repairs around the church! It was a blessing to see so much getting done for the work of God. Craftsmen for Christ is a Christian organization that helps other ministries that are not physically or financially able to construct buildings for the Lord. The Craftsmen for Christ is strictly a faith ministry supported by churches and individuals. All support is used to help pay for traveling expenses, lodging and meals. All labor is voluntary without paid salaries. Roger Mullins is the Western Field Coordinator for the organization. He arranged our willing workers and was able to oversee the project. We were so blessed with the people God sent to us. They did more than fix the roof. They became our friends and prayer warriors. We were so humbled that they would drop everything for a week to come work for a church where they knew no one. It was such a blessing to hear them testify how God used that week in their own lives. We were so encouraged by the good Christian fellowship and sweet spirit of the people. So we want to thank the Mullins family from WY, the Stamper family from VA, the McHatton family from NC, and Bro. Nathan Ward, Bro. Randy Ward, and Bro. Kassidy Houpt all from MS.
3rd Annual Fall Festival
Our 3rd Annual Fall Festival was a huge success with 20 people, many of them first time visitors. We had an old fashioned hay ride pulled by a John Deer tractor! We had lots of games, prizes, and plenty of food! The best part was that everyone there heard a clear presentation of the gospel. Praise the Lord!
Jason loves getting dressed up for church. He helps take up the offering at church and sings a special song sometimes. He is also our special church greeter that welcomes everyone to church!
This is a group from the Young Married Class and others from Faith Baptist Church in Spokane, WA. They came down to go door knocking with us and invite people to our Vacation Bible School. What a blessing! This church has been such a tremendous help to us!
In April 2008, we started a weekly Bible Study at the Courtyard in Colfax. This is an assisted living facility. The people there have become good friends and we look forward to seeing them each week. They love for us to come - especcially Jason. He usually does a special song or recites a new Bible verse for them. They have been such a blessing and encouragement to us and we hope we have been to them!Christmas at the Rest Home
Residents at our Rest Home Bible Study open their Christmas presents from us. It was such a blessing to them and us!
Bro. Richard Green, a missionary church planter in Cheney, WA, made this wonderful new sign for our building. Our other sign had been slowly deteriorating, so we were so excited to get this new one up. It is beautiful! We truly appreciate all of the time and energy Bro. Green spent making this sign for us!

We participated in the Colfax Hullaballoo. We were able to have a table in the kids area and pass out John/Romans Booklets and a church tract and information. What a blessing! These are pictures of our table and activities. It was cold that day!
These are pictures from our Albion Kids Bible Club on Tuesday nights. We have kids from ages 3-13 come each Tuesday to learn Bible Stories, sing songs, make crafts, play games, and eat a snack. The kids are having lots of fun while learning God's word.
