The St. Peter's Evangelical Lutheran congregation, then known as Evangelisch Lutherischen St. Peters Gemeinde was founded February, 1860 by German immigrants. The congregation is affiliated with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). The current church building was designed by architect Andrew Elleson in an Italianate Gothic style.

Originally the services were in German and then English now services are conducted in English and Spanish.
