The Methodist church was organized in the fall of 1842,
in a one room
school house, near the present site of Colesburg, by
the Rev's White and
Clark.
Several churches were built, only to be destroyed by
fire, and in 1891, the
present day building was erected. The church
celebrated it's 100th
anniversary in 1942, and their 150th anniversary in
1993.
In May of 1978, the Zion and Emmanuel churches held
their last services and
merged with the Colesburg First church to become the
Colesburg United
Methodist Church. The church has seen many physical
and structural changes
since White & Clark started it in 1842, but is
still working to spread
God's word.

Organized in 1847, and named in honor of St. Patrick,
famed apostle of
Ireland, marked the beginning of the parish as a mission.
Prior to erecting
the first church in Colesburg in 1854, services were
held in the home.
Several of the early churches built were destroyed
by fire, the last being
in January of 1940. An article taken from the Manchester
Press, states that
"Fire of unknown origin, destroyed St. Patrick's
Catholic Church, with loss
estimated at $5,000." Father Bohr, immediately
rescued the Hosts from the
altar, before the firemen could arrive. Immediately
the present day church
was built, with the cornerstone being laid on May 5,
1940. A history of
the church and it's former Priests, can be found
in the 1993 Colesburg
History Book.
