Lincolnton's original house of worship was erected by Emmanuel Lutheran and Emanuel Reformed Congregations CA.1787 and stood on the north west corner of a two acre site. This German meeting house was known as the "Old White Church" and was shared with all denominations. Following its destruction by fire December 23, 1893 Emmanuel Lutheran's congregation erected a brick church on the same site. In 1920 the present church was built diagonally across South Aspen Street.
