HISTORY

German Evangelical Lutheran Friedens Church was organized on 15 February 1907 by the Revs. E. Pfeiffer and Luther P. Ludden. The congregation built a church at the corner of 6th and D Streets which was dedicated on 1 December 1907. A fire in 1925 destroyed the second steeple at the west end of the church, which was not rebuilt, and as a result, a balcony along the south wall of the church was removed. This building is still in use by the congregation.
