Biographical / Historical

This church was originally formed in Philipsburg, OH as the United Evangelical Lutheran and German Reformed Zion's Congregation, which was a Union Church between Lutherans, Reformed and Evangelical Synod congregations. In 1890 the Evangelicals left and formed their own church known as the German Evangelical United Friedens Church. The Reformed remained as part of Zion's Union Church. In 1941 the Reformed congregation left to join the Evangelicals and this new merger became Grace Evangelical & Reformed Church (later Grace UCC) of Stonecreek, OH. Pastors who served the Frieden's & Zion's congregations include: Friedens: 1889-1896 G. L. Lohman 1896-1897 J. A. Stoevesand 1897-1901 O. D. Miller 1901-1902 H. D. Tebelmann 1903-???? Charles E.
