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.
