125 Years of Memories (1993), p. 66. According to Leslie Scanlon, "Full-time called pastor as an endangered species", Presbyterian Outlook, 2013-03-18, retrieved 2014-09-09, aging Presbyterian congregations with dwindling memberships, finding themselves unable to afford full-time pastors, often hire temporary part-time pastors with the title "stated supply".

Sources differ on the date of the first Presbyterian church's construction. According to Andreas' History, it was built in 1871. 125 Years of Memories (1993), p. 65, states: "According to church records, the first church building was dedicated in May of 1872." Trine and Stupka-Burda (2008)[usurped], section 8, p. 4, do not give a date for the construction, but say that "in 1872 the Presbyterian congregation made plans to build a church", and refer to an event taking place in the church in 1873. Since Andreas is Nebraska-wide, and the other two sources are specific to Madison, their date is used here.
