Destroyed by fire 1922


The 1870’s brought increased influx of settlers plus a little more culture with more religious organizations like the Christus church at Pensaukee which records start in 1877.

Zion Lutheran Church was next in the village, incorporation in 1893 and built in 1894, it stood to the west of the schoolhouse on Highway SS. The Zion church was stuck by lighting and burned to the ground and the property sold in 1922 to the school district. 

Christus, the German Lutheran church, in 1926 merged with First American Lutheran in Oconto.  At this point it appears, the remaining members formed Grace Lutheran Missouri Synod had control of the original German Lutheran Church property, and subsequently  merged with an Oconto church, circa 1938.
