About Us

During the year 1856 and part of 1857, the Rev. J. Richards, oneof the early pioneer Lutheran pastors in Illinois, came to Princeton and preached to the scattered Lutherans of the community.  This can be regarded as the beginning of English Lutheranism in this vicinity.

On November 8, 1857, the Rev. Harbaugh relocated to Princeton and began the work of gathering a congregation of Lutherans.  The first service was held in the home of Mr. George Kaar.  From Mr. Kaar’s home, they moved into a hall on Main Street and then to several school houses and then held services in the Methodist Protestant Church for a time.  No organization was effected until February 27th 1858 at a meeting held in Bacon & White’s Hall on South Pleasant Street.
