Summary

The first Baptist Church was built with funds provided by the American Baptist Home Mission Society, as well as local funds. The church was dedicated in 1884. The Cather family were Baptists when they moved to Nebraska and remained with that denomination until 1922, when they joined the Episcopal Church. The Baptist church was completed about the time the Cathers moved into Red Cloud, and is the church building they attended while they were members.
