Notes

2024-01-14 - Church began as "Church of the Holy Redeemer, Lutheran" and changed its name in the 1960's/1970's when another congregation merged with it to become "Incarnation Lutheran." In 2020/2021 the building was sold to a Church of God in Christ (COGIC) congregation. The organ was removed in December 2023 and is currently in storage. -Thomas D. Busteed
