General note
The first Lutheran church services in Hillyard were held in the summer of 1907 when Paul Groeschupf, Spokane pastor, came to conduct German services in various homes. In 1910 the Mission Board of the Joint Synod of Ohio decided to develop a congregation in Hillyard and regular services were begun in October of 1910. The congregation was formally organized September 17, 1911. In 1912, property was purchased and a building erected. In 1919 the church was moved to its new location at Regal and Wabash, and the church became self-supporting in 1941. During that period, lots were purchased at the corner of Regal and Wellesley and the church building there was dedicated January 20, 1952.
