Fifty Years of Service to Dillon Baptist Church
The First Baptist Church of Dillon, Montana, recounts fifty years of growth from a modest meeting to a vibrant congregation. Leaders, organ donations, Ladies Aid efforts, a 1903 cookbook, and a fire, along with pastors like Cope, Remington, Tilden, MacDougal, Shannon, and others, shaped a resilient community. A cottage social center, parsonage updates, new baptistry, and Mrs. Bassett and Mrs. Foote’s fundraising aided progress as the church navigated downs and ups toward a hopeful second half-century.
