With yellow hard hats, much fanfare and remembering the past, Ada's United Methodist dedicate the future
The First United Methodist Church, Ada, was dedicated on Sunday.
In July 2013 the congregation voted to move forward with construction of their new church building on their historic site in downtown Ada.
This $6 million, 25,000-square-foot project is supported by insurance receipts from the tragic March 2012 fire and significant gifts from members, friends, and other churches.
The Icon offers a photo series of events on Sunday below this story. Monty Siekerman is the photographer.
