The church was organized in 1890,
services being held in Pioneer Hall at
that time. In February, 1892, the
church building was erected on Six

benevolent minded parishioners, aided
largely by the munificent gift of $1,000
from Charles Traver, the completion of
the church in it's present form was
made possible. and it stands to-day
one of the prettiest and most comforta-
bic churches in our city.
