This memorial spire and cross is erected to the Glory of God in salutary tribute to the memory of our founders and to all who have dedicated themselves to the mission of this church upon its 75th anniversary.

On October 8, 1893, our pioneer fathers from Czechoslovakia with the Lords's guidance and in His name organized this Trinity Slovak Lutheran Church.
