History & Founding
During the height of the Civil Rights movement, the Vietnam War, and the Lyndon B. Johnson presidency, a Mormon man of strong faith ventured from his home in Utah to Northern Arizona. His mission was to go boldly into the still-new state and hopefully plant strong religious roots in the burgeoning cities.
