I was passing by when I noticed the historical marker in front of this majestic and classic church…read more The marker reads, "Old St. Paul's Lutheran Church. Organized before 1771 as a union church by German settlers. Present building erected ca. 1820." There are not too many buildings that are that old, so it was interesting to see and to look around. The church has a graveyard and the stones are in excellent condition. If you're in the area when they open the building, do stop in and check it out. Online there is more information. "About 1759 German settlers in the area known as South Fork in what would become Catawba County established a house of worship. The union church served people of the German Reformed and Presbyterian faiths whenever ministers were available to hold services. Reverend John Martin, a Swiss minister, attended the settlers of the Reformed faith as early as 1759. It was known in the early years as the Dutch Meeting House or the South Fork Meeting. The church's log sanctuary, finished in the 1760s, was located on land owned by Paul Anthony in 1771 when a long-term lease of ten acres was recorded between Anthony and the "Christian Churches Lutarin and Presbetaren." In 1790 Paul Anthony sold John Smyer his entire 200 acre parcel of land and all structures erected on the premises. The church's tract and chapel were included in the transfer. "By 1818, the congregation was about to incur great expenses in building a new sanctuary. At that time John Smyer, a member of the congregation, recorded a deed of gift in which he presents the church, which he called St. Pauls, with eight acres of land for the chapel, a graveyard, a school, and any other public use that was considered proper and beneficial to a meeting house. The deed was conditional, remaining valid as long as the church used the land in a way consistent with the gift. The structure that was completed around 1818 is still in use today, with Catawbans celebrating special services there, as well as opening the building and cemetery to the public with regularity."
