The Woodside Bible Fellowship church is marking its 50th anniversary this weekend.
Roland Mechler, the executive pastor, said the church really started in the 1930s out of a small house in Hawkesville, where members were baptized in the Conestogo River.
Then it became the Wallenstein Bible Chapel, he noted, adding that by the 1970s, many people were travelling from Elmira.
