About

On the third Sunday in Advent in 1841, Rev. George Cronenwett delivered his first sermon to The German Lutheran Church of Woodville Township. 2016 marks 175 years of ministry that began when our German Lutheran forefathers settled here in The Great Black Swamp. There were occasional visit by circuit riding ministers that occurred earlier; however, this was the beginning of an organized church with their own pastor. Solomon Lutheran School, the oldest continuing to educate parochial school in the ELCA, opened shortly after in 1862 and has been an on-going ministry and mission of the church.

Many families that attend Solomon Lutheran Church are a part a long chain of generations to call this church family their home; however, our congregation is beautifully diverse in its membership. There is no doubt that you and yours are fully welcomed into our community from the moment you step through our doors!
