St Paul’s Lutheran Church
406 W 1st St ~ 283-4729
In 1886 traveling preachers came to the area. At the time there was no certain worship building, so many services were held at Crown Point and Mulberry.
After many preachers and lots of organization, the first Lutheran Church building was dedicated May 14, 1893.
On March 1, 1923 the new preacher drew up plans for the present church building. The building was built and dedicated on December 4, 1924. A small parish addition built in 1962 was removed and a larger addition dedicated in November 1978.
Today the church is active and alive with 100 members.
United Methodist Church
201 N Minnesota Ave ~ 283-4489
The first Methodist church was organized in August 1886 and known as Tescott Methodist Episcopal Church. The church building was then dedicated June 14, 1890. Due to a defect in the acetylene “wiring” the church burned down on November 10, 1907.
The second and still today’s church building was complete January of 1909. Early 1980’s the Sunday School rooms and the social hall were added. A new parsonage was dedicated debt-free on January 28, 1973.
