Although Wales has grown throughout the decades, both in residents and businesses, we still remain a quaint and humble community with a historic downtown district and budding surrounding area. The rural charm of Wales along with its excellent schools, abundance of recreational opportunities and convenient healthcare and professional services make it a true lower Lake Country destination.

Jerusalem enjoys a rich history that began in 1842 when it was founded by Welsh-Americans. We worship in a lovely circa-1912 building that was lovingly restored to its historic beauty in the late 1990’s. Today Jerusalem is a church home to a family of faith that spans all age groups and backgrounds.
We seek to be a haven for those who are searching for an inviting and friendly place to worship, learn, and serve God. Believers are welcome, but so are sincerely seeking doubters.
