History

Plymouth Congregational Church was organized in 1857 by 18 charter members. The Reverend Norman McLeod acted as pastor. They built their first building in 1858 at Nicollet and Fourth Street. On the night of April 3, 1860, three days after the Reverend Henry Nichols delivered a sermon on temperance; the church was destroyed in a fire. A new church building was dedicated in 1863 on the same location. The parish eventually outgrew this building. In 1875 they erected a larger church at Nicollet and Eighth Street. As the city grew, many parishioners moved southward where no church existed within a mile radius. In 1906 the parish decided to sell the downtown site and build the present building at Nicollet and 19th. The new church building was completed in 1909. Many additions (starting with the chapel in 1948) and changes have been made since 1948 to the present day, with a new education wing and other improvements completed in 2007.
