Century-Old Religion History of Stark Churches
The ION LUTHERAN Church at North Canton linked with Zion Evangelical and Reformed for 66 years until 1880, predates New Berlin. The 1814 founding saw a log structure near Zion Cemetery, later Grecian Doric, then split in 1880 with Zion Reformed moving to New Berlin and Zion Lutheran staying at the cemetery site until 1904. The original parsonage became a Sunday School room, a $15,000 renovation followed, Zion Lutheran joined the American Lutheran Synod, now reports 260 confirmed members and Rev. Paul R. Daneker has served since February 1935.
