Nebraska, North and South Dakota were transferred to the Colorado Mission.

Boundary Change

Due to the mission expanding well beyond the borders of the state of Colorado, the mission was renamed the Western States Mission.

The mission home moved from 622 W Sixth Street, Denver, Colorado, to 242 Broadway, Denver, Colorado.

Headquarters Move

The mission home was moved to 538 East Seventh Ave., Denver, Colorado.

At a conference held in Minneapolis the North Central States Mission is established. The states of North and South Dakota were removed from the Western States Mission to the North Central States Mission with the exception of South Dakota's Black Hills region.

The mission was comprised of parts of the states of Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska, New Mexico, South Dakota, and Wyoming.
