What makes a strong community? Let us introduce the churches and organizations that help make Lake Benton a great place to live!
As you overlook the hills to the southwest, you will see a cross on the hill. It was placed there in 1976 during our nation's Bicentennial, through the united efforts of an ecumenical committee that wanted to give tribute to our rich heritage of faith. As a visitor, you will be warmly welcomed by any church you choose to attend. Each has a variety of organizations that would enjoy your presence as well. Just call the church office for information.
