CONGREGATIONAL HISTORY: In 1860 the congregation outgrew the log
church, and plans were drawn for a larger church. The new church, our current church, had the
following dimensions: 40' wide, 45'
tall, 72' long, with a 72' tower. There
was a debate as to whether the new church should be wood or brick. Contractor Griese of Indianapolis assured the
congregation that brick would be better, and the additional cost would be
negligible.
