First Reformed Church Se Ae Organized in 1893
The history traces the establishment of a German speaking Reformed Church in the Center area beginning in 1893. It recalls early leaders, the move to a dedicated building, growth under pastors Schaef, Watermuelder, and Schoon, wartime effects, postwar revival, and the long pastorates of Everts and Senne while noting key milestones, congregational subsistence, and improvements to property.
