St Peter's United Church of Christ stands on a hilltop near Lamar, Indiana and Santa Claus, Indiana. The original Evangelical congregation was founded in 1861 by German immigrants and services were in German until 1921, when an English service was added. The Evangelical denomination merged with Reformed in 1941 and then with the Congregational Church in 1956 to form the United Church of Christ.

The present building was completed in 1901. An addition was built in the centennial year ,2001. St Peter's shares a minister with Trinity Church at nearby Fulda. More of the history of the church is on its website. (visit link)

My husband grew up a few miles from here. His family has lived in the area since the 1860s and they have attended this church. His Grandparents, parents, a sister and other relatives are buried in the small cemetery adjacent to the church.
