Six pioneer men of the congregation which was organized in 1884 were guests at the meeting. A feature of the program was the hauling of six small covered wagons by Boy Scouts, each bearing the name of one of the pioneers. Names on the wagons included the name of Erik Ramstad, only charter member still active in the congregation. Other names appearing with those of Gunder S. Reishus, Edward Nelson, Ole Oen, A. C. Nedrud and Edward Aune.

No just past 140 years, the congregation is still with us and doing much good work in Minot! And with this information, it may be fair to call First Lutheran Church the oldest institution in Minot!
