Churches had modest beginnings in Mason City. The first sermon was preached in the McMillin store one Sunday in
1855 by the Rev. Mr. Styles, believed to have been of the United Brethren faith. The service, attended by families
from far off sections in the county, was delayed because at the time McMillin found and shot a wolf in his hen house.
