Our bell tower has a bit of history and a bit of newness, but it is a wonderful addition to our church, and for our community. The tower houses a carillon of 32 bells with 3 pealing or tolling bells in the very top.

Initially there was a single bell in the 1979 church and a second bell was added sometime in the 90s. The largest of the bells is named Calvin for donor Calvin Allen, the second was named Marisa for his wife and the third tolling bell is named for their daughter Anne.

The tower and the carillon was donated by Mr. R. Quintus Anderson and his wife Sondra, and the bells are named individually for members on the Anderson family including children, grandchildren and great children. So the Bell Tower, carillon and tolling bells are gracious gifts of both the Allen and Anderson Families.
