Our History & Heritage

We began as a small German speaking country Church in 1892 - the horse and buggy were very much in vogue and Manchester Avenue was just a dirt road. A Christian day-school was soon organized... beginning with three pupils. However, by 1895 enrollment was up to 42 students.

As the church grew, it outgrew its first building - constructed another - outgrew that one; and finally in 1954 the third house of worship was dedicated to the glory of God.

The school building still serves the commuity, and the church continues to praise God for all His blessings. 

We continue to proclaim the mission emphasis with which Concordia began in the words of Isaiah 56:7 - "... mine house shall be called a house of prayer for all people."
