It, was built south of the schoolhouse when the town was started in about 1912. The church was financed by donations from the people, which were mostly Swedish origin.
The first pastor was named Kellog. He also had the church in Juanita. Later there were several pastors that would come and have services: Mrs. Beamis, Rev. Place and many others not remembered by this writer.
One of the first Sunday School teachers was Miss Iva Marsh. Later on, starting in 1925, Melvin Gulstad taught Bible School for two summers.
The church stayed empty for several years and began to deteriorate. In 1930, it was used by the school to play their basketball games. There was some discussion about moving the building up town to be used as a Town Hall, but because some of the original contributors did not want to have dancing in the original church it was left not to be moved.
It was remodeled by the PWA for school use, basketball and other functions.
In 1952, the building was moved to McHenry and again remodeled to be used as a church again.
This is how this building was remembered by LeRoy Johnson.
