Work has been commenced on the Advent church in our city. The building is to be 30x48, one story and will be finished in good shape. It is hoped the edifice will be ready for occupancy within three months.

Thursday, August 08, 1890 The new Adventist church was dedicated with appropriate services last Sunday.
 
NOTE: Bob Bixby consulted the Decatur County Plat Map of 1894 and said this, "The Advent Church used to be at 8th Street and N. Q Street in 1894. It is in the same location on the SW corner of NE 3rd and N. Q Street. [8th St. is now 3rd Street] It looks like the original Advent Church but it is the Assembly of God Church at present, still an active church and in good condition." Thank you, Bob!
