17 Dec Closing of Fountain Hills Community Church

Fountain Hills Community Church (Fountain Hills, Ariz.) voted to close on December 8, 2009.Bishop Phil Whipple was on hand to lead the meeting.

Fountain Hills UB, in the Phoenix area,  was founded in 1974 by Rev. Ed Mast. Other pastors over the years have included Don Dennie, Steve Gilbertson, and most recently, Jim Fitz.

That leaves just one United Brethren church in Arizona: Templo Cristiano Corona de Victoria, a Hispanic congregation that meets in the building which formerly housed the Anglo Faith UB church. Nohemi Peralta is the pastor.
