Church History


While we prepare a history of more modern times, please enjoy seeing Wyoming through the eyes of the generations before us.

Diamond Jubilee Book

As part of the 75th Anniversary celebration in 1966, the church published a book of its history from the very beginning of the Mission through 1966.  The book also includes current (1966) and historical lists of church officers, Sunday School workers, and members from 1900 through 1966.
