Carl and Linda Babler have lived in the Benton area since 1979. We were invited to Primitive Methodist by a couple of our rural neighbors who were members. We immediately were welcomed in to the church family and developed lifelong friendship with other members. We over time grew spiritually along with other couples who were striving to raise their families in a Godly manner.

Through the Church we were offered opportunities to serve in Sunday School and Adult Fellowship activities. Carl has served many years as a small group leader, Trustee and most recently as a Church Elder.

Linda has had the opportunity to be a full time stay-at-home mother and now Grandmother, while Carl, since his boyhood days growing up on a farm in northern Illinois has been involved in Agriculture as a Farmer, Educator and Commodity Marketing Advisor.

We look back with thanksgiving how God has provided us a church home and church family to nurture our Spiritual growth and we now look forward to the opportunities God will provide for us to serve Beginning Point Church in the years to come.
