General note
In February of 1965, Pastor Arnold Knudson and his family moved to Tillamook to begin developing an LCA congregation. The first service was held at the 4-H Dorm of the Fairgrounds on May 14, 1965. Seventy-five charter members chose the name of St. Peter Lutheran Church. Almost immediately, a house was purchased for a parsonage. In 1966 a piece of property was purchased for a church site.
After holding services in the 4-H Dorm for many months, the congregation moved to share facilities with the Seventh Day Adventist Church. In 1967 facilities at the YMCA, located in the heart of town, were rented. After nearly two years (in 1969), arrangements were made to share St. Albans’s Episcopal Church on 6th street. In 1970 an opportunity to rent a building on 7th street was taken. In 1972 the Mormon Church building was purchased and the parsonage and property on 3rd street were sold.
