A historical sketch narrates Moline’s growth as a city of churches starting with Methodists in 1843 and detailing the First Congregational Church, its pastors, building dedications, remodeling, and later Swedish Lutheran and other congregations. It notes notable figures, church expansions, and the spread of denominations including Augs tiana College ties and East Moline efforts.
The article traces the formation and growth of major faith groups in the city including Mission Tabernacle and its independent congregation organized in 1877, its later building at 6th Avenue and 10th Street, and pastor Rev John Hagstrom. It covers St Mary Catholics Church at 4th Avenue and 10th Street, its long pastorate line from Sir Father Aleman to Rev Bryant, and the Swedish Mission Tabernacle organized in 1876 with Father Kreve and later Father Kelly. It also notes the First Methodist Church of Moline founded in 1836 by Rev D James, a frame building, then the Seventh Avenue and 16th Street church, and the early Sunday school with Michael Hartzell.
