Since this is a message board that encourages posts of this nature: the congregation where our family is attending is looking for a new preacher (one of our elders - Joe Corum - has been doing the preaching for a couple of years and has done quite well - Harding grad; he and his brother own the local radio station but...). Congregation has about 120 members on the books; attendance runs about 70-80; significant older membership, but a lot of school-age young people. Parsonage next door in pretty good shape.
Ava has about 3,000 folks in a county (Douglas) of approximately 12,000 - is about a hour east of Springfield, MO.
Address: Ava Church of Christ, PO BOX 637, Ava, MO 65608-0637
