This historic site was a center of religious activity for German Lutherans who, fleeing religious persecution and economic privation, came to Kirchhayn in 1843 from the Kingdom of Prussia. In 1847 they formed the Evangelical Lutheran Congregation of Immanuel. In 1853 they erected a log church in which they worshipped and taught school. The school immediately north was built about 1860 and the parsonage immediately west was built on 1870. The brick church presently standing on this site was built in 1874.

Erected 1977 by Washington County Landmark Commission.
