During the late 1870s German farmer William Winkler and other area pioneers organized a Luthern congregation that was formally chartered in 1883 as St. Paul Luthern Church. By 1896 members had erected a sanctuary on Winkler's farm and had called the Rev. Huge as their first full-time pastor. When the fellowship outgrew the first church building, they moved to this site in the grove in 1908. With deep roots in the German Christian tradition, services at St. Paul Luthern Church were often held in both English and German.
