Organized 14 October 1860; brick church 1864, used until December 1950; present building at S. Union Street and E. Fourth Street dedicated 15 April 1951; 320 E. Fourth Street
The course: St. Andrew's was organized on 14 October 1860 under the Rev. Philip Wagner, a German Evangelical congregation whose records were kept in German until 1919. Its brick church of 1864, in the 100 block of West Third Street, served until December 1950; the present building, at South Union Street and East Fourth Street, was dedicated on 15 April 1951. The congregation's denominational course follows its tradition's mergers: Evangelical and Reformed from 1934, and United Church of Christ from the merger of 1957 — the genealogical timeline also carries a 1962 line for the UCC step, and both stand.
