                                               HISTORY

                    

                 In Ohio's early settlement days, Sandusky County became

                           a stronghold of Lutheranism. Traveling missionaries were

                         among the first to minister to the spiritual needs of early

                          Lutheran pioneers of this Black Swamp area from 1827 to

                               1835. In 1836, the former Salem Congregation was formed as

                          the first Lutheran Church in Sandusky County.  The former

              St. Paul Church of Lindsey was organized in 1845.

                          The former Salem and St. Paul congregations merged into

                            a single congregation to be called Faith Lutheran Church on 

                       January 7, 1964. The dedication of the Faith Evangelical

         Lutheran Church building was on May 19, 1968.
