Early
Churches in Minot – After the original town site of Minot was
established, the Methodists, Presbyterians and Baptists were the first congregations
to take advantage of free lots offered to churches. Within two years after the town
had started and as early as 1884, these three denominations all had houses of
worship within a block of Main Street on 2nd Avenue in Downtown
Minot. The Methodists formed the first congregations held the first church
services…. The Presbyterians were the second to form a congregation and the
first to erect a building in the city….. the Baptists were the first to build a
brick walled church. By 1887 the Roman Catholic and Lutheran Churches were
established in Minot also.
