Description

History

Established in 1886.

On May 30, 1886, an historic meeting took place at the home of Louis Sieling of La Grange. Twenty men prayerfully decided to organize a Lutheran Christian congregation at La Grange and to begin at once to build a place of worship which could also serve as a school house for a Christian Day School. During the summer of 1886, a frame school house, 26×38 feet, was completed on land donated by Louis Sieling, and on September 19th of that year the building was dedicated to God’s glory for use as a church and school. On September 26, St. John’s congregation was formally organized.
