Christus Lutheran Church in Pensaukee, Wisconsin, was one of two Lutheran churches in the village. It is now a private home.
The 1870’s brought an increased influx of settlers, plus a little more
culture, with more religious organizations like the Christus church at
Pensaukee. Remaining records start in 1877. Previous records were lost in the
1877 Pensaukee Tornado which destroyed most of the village. The first church
building, built in 1875, was part of the destruction.
Pastor Lieb stayed
with Evangelical Lutheran
Immanuel Church congregation (German Lutheran Church) in
Oconto until 1875. Pastor W. Buehring (1875-1879)
followed. During his tenure, the German Evangelical Lutheran Christus
congregation of Pensaukee was organized, which he also served.
Christus, the German Lutheran church, in 1926 merged with First American Lutheran in Oconto, which was originally the German Lutheran Church in Oconto.
At this point it appears, the remaining members of Christus Evangelical Lutheran Church in Penasuskee formed Grace Lutheran Missouri Synod and had control of the original German Lutheran Church property, and subsequently merged with an Oconto church, circa 1938.
The church records are from 1877 to 1928.
I have a complete
copy of these church records if someone would need info from them. Mary

The records for this church are now housed at First American Lutheran Church, Oconto, WI.
