More Details
St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, founded by German immigrants, was organized in 1852 using the name of St. Johannes Evangelical Lutheran Church.
Initially services were held in member’s homes; of course, the sessions were conducted in German. It was not until the summer of 1917 with the start of World War I that some services were held using English. Over time the German service was phased out.
St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church continues to exist today.
