This Gothic Revival wood framed church, dedicated in 1901, has always been the home of the Community of Christ Church, AKA The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Note the rubble stone foundation in the photos.

On December 7, 2011, the Silver State Post of Deer Lodge published an third article in a series which examined the history of religion in Deer Lodge. At present this link is inoperable.

The article delved into the history of this church, primarily as gleaned from the memory of Pastor and Elder Joyce Martin, who joined the church in 1957. Her family came to Deer Lodge in 1871 from Salt Lake City by way of Soda Springs, Idaho. The family have been members of this church since it was formed, date unknown.

Though the church has survived for well over a century, it is now down do a dozen or so members and on some Sundays so few people arrive for services that they are cancelled for that week.
Date the Church was built, dedicated or cornerstone laid: 01/01/1901
