Concerned members of St. Mark Lutheran Church in
Detroit held a meeting of the East End Mission Society on
February 8, 1911 to establish an English language congregation
of the Missouri Synod. Services were previously held in
German. A Constitution was adopted on May 3 and the first
worship service was held on June 11, 1911. The Ladies Aid
Society was organized, which still exists as the Women's
Association. Our parsonage was also built. The church was
built and dedicated in 1913, and the parsonage house was built
in 1928.
In 1977, the congregation resigned from the Missouri
Synod and joined the English district of the Association of
Evangelical Lutheran Churches. Iroquois Christ along with
other AELCA congregations joined the Evangelical Church in
America, ELCA, in 1988. The parish house basement was
renovated in 1992 as the Cornerstone School, Iroquois Campus.
Additional work in 1998 completed the grammar school. This
year we celebrate our 95th year as a dynamic congregation.
Today we flourish as a diverse congregation of 130, where its
multicultural members share a common understanding of the
mission of Christ. |
