Excerpted from the church's website:
In 1821, the people who lived in the town of Zelienople and the surrounding rural area shared a common German heritage, and sermons were in the German tongue.
As other emigrants joined the community and the young people grew up, they requested that the sermons be delivered in English.
Bishop John Gottlob Christian Schweizerbath of St. Paul Lutheran Church called Pastor Bassler to fill this need. The "English" Evangelical Lutheran Church of Zelienople was organized. A constitution was presented on January 21, 1843. This date became the official anniversary date of the new church.
