These are the Easter Cantata (1934), church directory (1972), and fiftieth anniversary pro­gram (1976) of the United Evangelical Lutheran Church in Cole Camp, Benton County, Mis­souri.

 

The United Evangelical Church was founded in 1926 by members of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Cole Camp.  The new church was organized so that the members “might have an Eng­lish-speaking, and yet Lutheran church, open communion, and a more liberal acceptance of fra­ter­nal organizations.”  The first meetings were held in the Eickhoff Opera House, then in an empty store building in Cole Camp.  The congregation moved into its own church in 1938.  Ad­ditional historical details, as well as a roster of members, may be found in the fiftieth anniversary program.
