General note

This congregation was established as a mission by the ALC on July 18, 1944 with the Rev. Robert V. Rieke as pastor. A group of people had held worship services for several months prior to this, and the first worship service was held in the H. P. Anderson home. Construction began on Labor Day, 1944, and by Good Friday of 1945 the first unit of the church was in operation. An enlarged parish education building was dedicated in 1955. The present sanctuary was dedicated on June 18, 1967. Several lay missionary families have been sent to the mission field in New Guinea. Through the years the congregation has had several community service programs, including the first food bank in the area. It has also sponsored Vietnamese refugee families. The Rev. Robert Rieke was the first pastor of the congregation and served there until his retirement in 1984.
