St Peter's Evangelical Plans New Church in Quincy
St Peter's Evangelical Lutheran congregation plans a new brick church on Thirteenth Street and Payson Avenue, with funds raised and Rev Paul W H Langhorst guiding. The current 832 York Street site will be sold to finance the move. The church hosts about 500 members and has grown under Langhorst, systematic in its debt free status with an adjoining modern parsonage on Payson Avenue. The group traces to 1857 under Rev Conrad Kuhl who led early organizing efforts and first services were held on the third floor of Adam Schmitt's building.
