BRIEF HISTORY OF OUR CONGREGATION Organized as a mission church in 1890, the congregation dedicated the building on Kentucky Street in 1891 with sermons in three languages: German, Norwegian, and English. The English language was first used regularly for worship in 1925, with some services still held in German. The current church building at Cornwall and North Streets was dedicated in 1956. In 1963, Ebenezer Lutheran Church merged with St. John's. For many years, services were conducted by St. John's pastors at the Ten Mile Chapel. |
