We're Moving!
Starting October 13, 2025, we will move to the Whitley County Government Center. Our new address will be:
220 W. Van Buren St., Suite LL4
Columbia City, IN 46725
Please be patient with us, as it will take some time for us to unpack and become fully operational again as an office. Our phone number should remain the same as above, but it may not function for a few days. We anticipate being closed from October 13-24 to equip ourselves to serve you in this new location.
