Nevertheless, there is a Lutheran tradition in the area that goes back for over 200 years. A log church was erected on the property followed in 1788 by a stone school building still standing. The German Lutheran population who worshipped there had mostly come to the area as indentured servants. This group of German settlers seems to have melted away from the area around the time of the Revolution. At that time the property was transferred to the county for school purposes.
Some folks believe that logs from the old church later became mantel pieces in local homes.
Interest in a new Lutheran congregation here surfaced as the area grew following the second world war. A total of 117 charter members gathered in Isabel E. Rogers Hall of the Devereux School. The Rev. Ted Schlack was called as Pastor. The present church property was acquired in July of 1955. The First service at the church site was Easter Sunrise Service in April of 1956.
