" In the 1920s a few German speaking families gathered at the home of Mr.and Mrs. August Molzan for prayer meetings. As time went by and more families moved to this area Pastor Fehner began coming to Kingsville to start a mission congregation and conduct baptisms
Later Rev.Mueller came. The first confirmation was held in the town hall. 4 girls and 2 boys were confirmed
Our services where held in the council chambers of the town hall older members can remember as a children, going by the jail room and looking into the cell when no one was locked up, other times the door would be closed if someone was in. Pastor Storm taught the young people the catechism after the church service. The first confirmans were confirmed at First Lutheran in Windsor. [1943]
When the war broke out, conditions worsened and services were abandoned, it was then Rev. Storm from First Lutheran Windsor rallied the discouraged group around him and the actual organization of First Lutheran took place. In the first 4 weeks, 67 individuals had signed as Charter members. Many of them have since gone to their eternal home.
