Hebron Lutheran Church was organized from German immigrants in the early 18th century. A log chapel was first built here. The present sanctuary building was constructed in 1740, and then later expanded in 1790 - when a pipe organ was also added. It has been in continuous use since its construction with a small congregation worshipping here - led by Pastor Patti Covington.
