The Congregation
Several years after a Salzburger Pastor and fellow German Lutherans arrived in the area, Ascension congregation was founded in 1741. The church trustees purchased the present lot in 1771. Several wooden structures and a single story brick church preceded the present building, constructed in 1878.
