    In 1858 the Concord Association met at Pilgrims Rest church in Iron County and received the following new churches: New Prospect, Pleasant Exchange, Mount Gilead and Sugar Tree Grove. The ministers at this meeting were ISAAC LANE, R. Seal, and D. Warren; ISAAC LANE was moderator again and Thomas Dickson was chosen clerk.
    Bethel Association was continually sending off groups of churches for the establishment of other association. In 1860 a group of churches in Iron County consisting of Mount Pleasant, Big Creek, Pilgrims Rest, White Oak Grove, Sugar Tree Grove, Mount Gilead, Mount Zion and Locust Grove organized an association called the Central Missouri Association. The ministers concerned in this organization were William Polk, Harry Young and James Ritter. All of these churches had been members of Bethel Association and were dismissed from that organization in 1859. This association met in 1860 at Mount Zion in Washington County; at that time ISAAC LANE was moderator and David Adams was clerk. There were 13 churches in the association at this time, 8 of which were represented at the meeting reporting a total membership of 367. The ministers were N. Adams, ISAAC LANE, G. W. Bay and P. McCracken.
