Attendees of the Young People's Alliance, District Convention at the Sleepy Eye Evangelical Church pose in front of the church on the lawn. This movement won approval of the General Conference in 1891. It was the organization which had been designed to bring unification among the young people of the Church, as well as to consolidate the numerous Jugend-Bunds (Youth Leagues) which had formed in Evangelical Association congregations throughout the country. As a youth society, its purpose was the promotion of intellectual, religious, and social culture and to train young people in Christian living and for service in the Church. It served to fill the gap between the Sunday School and the Church.

A postcard showing the exterior of the United Brethren in Christ Church and parsonage. The church was built 1896 and dedicated in June 1897. It had been under construction for several years previous to the dedication. Most of the labor was donated and the lumber was cut off the farms of the members. Henry Bowers helped shingle the roof. These same shingles lasted until 1955 when Rev. Erdman almost fell off the roof during the reshingling.
