Church services were in German until 1930.

In 1874, the congregation built a schoolhouse nearby, which operated into the 1920s. There is also a cemetery behind the church.

On June 30, 1983, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural significance. Regular church services were discontinued in the 20th century, and as of the building's addition to the register, it was only used on Easter and Christmas. [2] [3]
