When the house was dedicated in October 2011, Harvey Oaks Baptist Church Pastor Bryan Galloway said Dillon's House would be a vivid reminder that ministering to children is important and that young hearts and minds are transformed by the power and love of Jesus.

The suggested donation at the door is $10; students (appropriate for upper elementary and older) will be admitted free. For more information, call 402-391-0350.
