During my lifetime the only institutions that are still in Imboden from 1945 today are the four churches and Sloan-Hendrix School. The churches are Imboden First Baptist Church, Imboden Church of Christ, Imboden Assembly of God, Church, and Imboden United Methodist Church. First Baptist Church has added on, and Assembly of God Church has moved to west end of town on Highway 63. These four churches are very active in fulfilling the religious needs of Imboden and surrounding residents. Sloan-Hendrix is still offering a quality education with new buildings and record enrollment this year-739 (later article on Sloan Hendrix School). Since Bill McCurley Gymnasium was opened in 2004, Sloan Hendrix has hosted a State and Regional Basketball Tournament. Current professional basketball starts Malik Monk (EPC) and Austin Reeves (Cedar Ridge) starred in the Regional Tournament. Imboden Area Charter School, an open-enrollment school for kindergarten through eighth grade opened in 2002. The last school year had 61 students enrolled.
