CONGREGATION INFORMATION
All guests are welcome to attend services at any time, as well as our special events & potlucks (every first Sunday.) Feel free to read more about our congregation here. We have members from Spearfish, Belle Fourche, Newell, Sturgis, & often times Wyoming, & our building is a great central point to experience many things western South Dakota has to offer. Both towns around our building offer wonderfully unique experiences with many of the most famous attractions of the Black Hills located within a 1-2 hour drive.
AREA INFORMATION
Spearfish is a great jumping off point as it’s situated at the northern side of the national forest. From Spearfish, which offers a plethora of weekly festivals, events through the summer and many things to see through the year, as well as incredible fly fishing on Spearfish Creek (of which our minister often partakes), the Spearfish Canyon Byway starts here and takes you through the beautiful Spearfish Canyon. Interstate 90 also runs right through Spearfish which allows travelers to easily access Sturgis, Rapid City, & Deadwood, as well as being only an hour from Mt. Rushmore.
Belle Fourche (pronounced Bell Foosh) , while only being 10 miles to the north of Spearfish, offers a very different feel & culture which is no less enjoyable. Famous for being the Center of the Nation as well as hosting the Black Hills Roundup Rodeo over July 4th weekend, Belle offers wonderful scenic walks by the Belle Fourche river, wide open parks & quiet nights. You’ll find a lot of agriculture in Belle, which our residents take up proudly. You’ll find many unique shops & eateries in both towns, & those of us who live here are very proud of our towns & areas.
