Paonia First Christian Church

Delta County

The Paonia First Christian Church is an excellent example of Romanesque style church as interpreted by local craftsmen.  The building, along with several other churches, is in the heart of the residential area of Paonia, which has a long-standing religious identity marked by the high density of churches in the small town.
