Inscription. German settlers of this Osceola County farming community began holding evangelical services in the home of John J. Arndt in 1872. Later, services were held in a log house a quarter mile west of here. The church society was formally organized in 1882. The present church, originally named Emanuel Evangelical Church, was built at a cost of $2,500 and dedicated on November 9, 1884. The name changed in 1968 to reflect the merger of the Evangelical and Methodist societies.
