History

Established 1869; still active in 2024

By the time of the Civil War, a number of German families had settled in the predominantly French Carondelet area of south St. Louis. In response to their need for an Evangelical church, the Rev. John Will, pastor of St. John’s Evangelical Church in Mehlville, organized the Deutsche Evangelische Gemeinde in Süd St. Louis (German Evangelical Congregation in South St. Louis) in 1869. The members first met in Blow School, then purchased property to build a permanent church at Fourth and Kirk Streets (now Michigan and Koeln) in 1870.

In 1939, after the merger to establish the Evangelical and Reformed Church, the church adopted the name Carondelet Evangelical and Reformed Church. As the congregation prospered, they replaced the old church with a new building on the same site. After another synod merger in 1957, the congregation became the Carondelet United Church of Christ.
