Community Vitality
A community's sustainability depends on its long-term ability to meet residents' needs. K-State Research and Extension can play a key role in helping people create a vision across traditional geographical, sociological, and political boundaries.
As Henry Ford said "Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success."

Little Stranger Church Restoration
For 147 years, Little Stranger Church has served as a place of worship, a meeting place, a community center, and a cultural landmark. For those with ties to the surrounding area, it is a physical manifestation of their heritage. The church is currently closed and in need of repair, but community members are making improvements and raising money for restoration.
