Lutherans of Cole County, Missouri - A History

"Large groups of German immigrants began arriving in Cole County in the 1830s. By 1843, thirty-seven of them had banded together to establish the first Lutheran church in the county: Zion Church. The following year, the second Lutheran church was founded near Taos, while the pastors at Zion helped establish a third congregation in Lohman in the 1850s. Doctrinal disputes inspired members to leave the church in Lohman and establish a new Lutheran congregation in Stringtown after the Civil War. Over the generations, Zion - the 'Mother Church' - disbanded, but other Lutheran congregations developed in Centertown, Honey Creek, Russellville, Jefferson City and near Brazito. Local author Jeremy èAmick details the rich history of Lutherans in Cole County"--Back cover.
