| Directions |
From Interstate 35, take the DD Hwy or
Civil Bend exit (exit 72). Head southeast (away from the
town of Civil Bend) on DD. After 4/10 mile, DD will bend
to the left and a dirt or gravel 160th Street will fork
to the right. Civil Bend Methodist sits right at
this intersection between 160th Street and DD Hwy. Thanks
to contributor Jeff Stith for assistance with these
directions. |
