History of the Church & Cottage
The Clark Family began the rescue and restoration of this beautiful historic church in 2018. Originally built in the 1800’s in Long Creek, Oregon it now rests in Wheeler County overlooking the endless views of the John Day River Valley. Becky’s 90+ year old Grandpa preached in this church. When Bryon was approached by Becky’s grandpa to save this special building, Bryon rounded up the family and made it happen.
