About our Church

Benton First Assembly held its first service in 1940 with about 20 people. From then the church has moved its first location at East and Maple streets, to its present location on Highway 5 in 1993. In the early 2000s the church underwent construction again and the Life Center was added. Benton First has been a staple in Saline County since its existence by reaching out and sharing the light and hope of Jesus.
