Foothills Bible Fellowship – formerly Free Methodist Church- in Wessington Springs, SD, celebrated its 125th anniversary June 22-24. From coast to coast and border to border over 250 friends, faculty, staff, and alumni of WS College and Academy converged at the hillside community to honor their Christ-centered heritage that began in 1887 with the founding of the Free Methodist Church and the Seminary that was to become WS College and Academy. The College closed in 1964 and the Academy in 1968.
