We are apart of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS). This congregation was founded in 1904, and the corner stone was laid in 1905 by a few interested members of Zion church, the oldest Lutheran church in the city. The congregation was founded so that the younger generation of the mother church might have a house of worship where the language of our country was used in divine worship, and also to do missionary work in a growing section of the city.
