From its first church building on Washington Avenue, built in 1852, to the purchase of four lots at the corner of Wayne Avenue and Juliet Street, in 1867 for $800, the footprint of the church has expanded to almost an entire block on Wayne Avenue.
That footprint includes St. John Lutheran School, which also was founded in 1851. The first school building was built at its current location in 1870 at a cost of $1,150.
When you have 171 years of history it’s important to recognize that. We understand this church wasn’t built by one person, it’s many families, pastors, churchgoers … people who have sacrificed to make this a great place to worship and send their children to school for 171 years. We know we need to honor our past, but we also need to work to continue to be a blessing to our congregation and to the community for another 171 years.
To learn more about where we’ve been, about the people who took that leap of faith, and why it was important to them to have a place to worship and educate their children, has been a great journey and our willing to share our history with you.
