THE HISTORY
Fredrick and Elizabeth Goss donated land to establish the Saint Peter’s German Reformed Church. Founded on April 5, 1833 originally as a log structure the current building replaced it in 1870. Upon its foundation, Reverend George Weiss pastored the church between 1833 – 1854. The name changed later to Saint Peter’s United Church of Christ and currently stands known as “The Little Country Church.”
