Worshiping at the 'Little Church on the Mound'

The address for Union Mound Baptist Church says Elkland, Mo. That small, unincorporated city has one restaurant — located inside a gas station.

Union Mound actually sits on top of a small hilltop about eight miles away from the dusty town and about one-third of the way from Buffalo to Springfield. Like many rural churches, one needs to know how to get there before leaving the nearest highway and entering a maze of gravel roads.
