About the 28^th January 1853 the Rev. G. Scherer located in Columbus as the first Eng. Lutheran minister in Texas and commenced his ministerial labours under very discourageous circumstances, there being at that time only two American Lutherans number in the place.

Believing however that he was directed to this point by the hands of Providence he endeavoured, trusting in the Lord, to go forward in his work, hoping that in due season he might at least see some fruits of his labours.

In a few months a Union Sunday School was organized which continued in successful operation until in the later part of the summer when it became necessary to procure a more appropriate house than the old courthouse which the school then met. Efforts were made and a plan adopted by the Pastor and a few friends by which the means were procured to erect a building for the use of a Lutheran Cong. and a Union Sunday School. The Building was put under contract in the fall of 1854 and completed so as to be used in the spring of 1855. Costing $1104.64. The bell and Lamps c. $76.00. In the winter of 1854 a number of Lutherans from western Va. immigrated to this place and organized themselves into a congregation in the month of April on the 2 Sunday when the elected the Rev. G. Scherer for their Pastor who continued to serve there until April 1858.

The Home Missionary Soc. extends aid to the amount of $100.00 for 2 years. The 3 years the Southern Aid Society gave $100.00.

In April 1858 Rev. G. Scherer resigned with a view of restoring his health upon which an election was held which resulted in the choice of Rev. J. J. Scherer who was Ordained in pesuence to resolution of West Va. Synod on the day of by a committee consisting of the Revs. Jacob and G. Scherer which com. was appointed by said Synod of which they were members.
