In 1956, Lay Leader John Moshure had a vision of individuals across South Dakota joining together to support the building projects of United Methodist Churches throughout the state, and he formed the South Dakota Builders Club. North Dakota established their own Builders Club in 1963 to support United Methodist Churches on the other side of the state border. In 1994 these two organizations merged to become the Builders Club of the Dakotas Annual Conference. Since the merge, over $1.1 million has been given to United Methodist Churches across the Dakotas for building projects within their church communities.
