Dent United Methodist Church, 1916-ongoing
The congregation at Dent had Presbyterian beginnings starting with services in 1901 or 1902. They built their church in 1905, which was sold to the Methodist Episcopal Church on March 20, 1918. Prior to that the Methodist district superintendent reported in 1916 a class organized at Dent. The Presbyterian congregation decided to switch denominations in 1918 to ensure having regularly assigned ministers.
Dent is a city in Otter Tail County.
Dent Evangelical Association, 1895-c.1912
Dent was named as a preaching point on the Wadena Mission of the Evangelical Association in 1895, meeting in homes. This apparently continued for some years; Utzinger’s history, p. 426, says Dent was served quite regularly during the 1907-1912 pastorate.
