Ebenezer Methodist Episcopal Church, Minneapolis

A daughter church to First Methodist Episcopal Church, Ebenezer ME was organized in 1892 by Swedish members who had moved to northeast Minneapolis. The group initially held their meetings in a store at 2201 Central Avenue NE. In 1897 the congregation erected a brick church with a seating capacity of 160 at 1835 Polk St. NE.  The Ebenezer Methodists sold the building in February 1979 to the Hindu Society of Minnesota. In 2006, the Hindu Society sold the building to another Hindu congregation, the Shirdi Saibaba Mandir, which owned the building in 2014, but by 2022 had moved to Chaska, MN.
