General note
The members of United Lutheran in downtown Eugene sensed an opportunity for a new Lutheran church in north Eugene and supported the efforts of the Pacific Synod to establish a church. A first meeting of interested persons was held by Pastor Henkel, the mission developer, on June 23, 1955. Pastor Henkel soon became the called pastor of the congregation. When the new church was dedicated on June 12, 1960, there was also a new organ for the enhancement of the worship life of the parish. The sale of half of the five acres of the church property to a hospital group made funds available that paid off the mortgage, established a trust fund and made possible a half-time associate ministry.
