The church was organized at the old Gordon School house the first Sunday in January 1907.  Bill Gordon elected Church clerk, Jim Herrington and John Smith deacon's.  Nettie Gordon gave the name Greenland.  Reverend Jessie Nelson was elected Preacher for the year.  Reverend Reube Cleveland, Moderator.  Services were to be the first Saturday and Sunday of each month until the location of the Church could be decided and Church built.
