CHURCH HISTORY
"OUR BLESSED HERITAGE"
The founding members installed their first pastor November 12, 1871 in a new frame church south of town on Blackberry Patch Road, along with a parsonage and their cemetery. In 1905 the congregation moved into the town of Stover and built a new church sanctuary, a schoolhouse and a parsonage. They built a schoolhouse where confirmation classes, German day school, Sunday School, and VBS (Vacation Bible School) were held, and where the Ladies Aid quilted.
