The first formal meeting of the Synodical members of the church took place on November 11, 1934, led by Pastor Erhart, in the old Faust Hall north of the old Armory.
A special meeting was held November 24, 1935 at which time the present church was formally organized and a constitution adopted.
Later, a lot was purchased (the present site of the church) for $250.00 and the old Hobart Nebo Lutheran Church building purchased for $350.00 and moved to the recently purchased lot. The first chapel was dedicated May 1, 1938 and on October 22, 1939, Pastor J. J. Wendland was installed as the first pastor.
In 1943 a permanent parsonage was purchased and in 1965 another parsonage was built on the lot adjacent to the church on the east.
The congregation grew and on October 12, 1949 plans were formulated for a new church building which came to fruition with the dedication of the new church building on June 13, 1954.
A Ladies Aid was organized on June 13, 1940 and a Young Peoples' Society had been organized in January of 1940. This group later was replaced by a Pioneers organization on March 30, 1967. It was finally chartered on May 3, 1975 at the National Convention in Wisconsin.
