Diamond Valley Com-
munity Center is located
five miles east of Still-
water on Highway 51.
After the school dis-
trict was consolidated,
the members of the
community committed
themselves to keep the
building in good repair
so it could be used for
other community activ—
ities. Thebuilding was
originally a rura public
school.
In 1940, a young lady,
Rachel Demaree, saw
the need for a Sunday
School in the Diamond
Valley Community.
She went around to each
house in the neighbor-
hood and asked people
to come the next Sunday
morning. If a family
wasn’t home, she left a
note on the front door.
As a result of Rachel’s
visits, 81 people showed
up, and a weekly Sunday
School was started. Then
after a time, preaching
service were included.
An organized church
was founded in 1953.
The church and com-
munity work together.
Other groups have used
the facility through the
years. The building
