"The first Christian Endeavor Society was formed in 1881 under the guidance of Dr. Francis E. Clark," who was from Portland, Maine. "The society that formed at the Williston Congregational Church encouraged young people to express themselves through participation in Christ-centered tasks."

"The Society began as a small group of young people meeting at the house of Pastor Clark. Within a year, five more Societies had been formed. The organization continued to expand rapidly, hitting fifty-six Societies after only two years. By 1906, 67,000 youth-led Christian Endeavor societies had been organized worldwide, with membership reportedly topping four million young people."
