A Nebraska Historical Marker stands near the sanctuary's southwest corner, and it reads:
The congregation was organized in 1879, eight years after the first homestead claim was filed in Howard County. The first church at this location, a frame structure dedicated in 1881, was destroyed by fire in February 1905. Construction of this building, the oldest church in town still at its original site, began in September 1905 and was completed in July 1907 at a cost of $15,000, including the furniture and organ. The bell now in use survived the 1905 fire.

The church did at one time have a website, noted on their Facebook page -- and by the Presbyterian Church (USA) on their website -- but it appears to be offline, as Facebook is much less expensive than web hosting. The Facebook page doesn't provide much history, either, but it does note a more specific founding date of October 26, 1879.
