Participating churches are Christ Fellowship Church, Grant City Wesleyan Church, Shirley Christian Church, Shirley Friends Church, Shirley Church of the Nazarene, Shirley-Wilkinson Community United Methodist Church and Wilkinson Church of Christ. You do not have to attend one of those churches to go to the service.
