Friedens Evangelical Lutheran Church was organized about the year 1783, by Rev. Mr. Steck, whose labors extended over a vast region lying on both sides of the Allegheny mountains. The first house of worship was built jointly by members of the Lutheran and Reformed congregations, about the year 1783. It was also used for educational purposes. The second edifice was erected by members of the same congregations in 1820. In 1858, however, the Lutherans built their present church edifice alone, at a cost of about four thousand dollars. They also own other valuable properties, including a parsonage, barns, etc., and thirty acres of land.
