Join Us:

We at St. Paul's strive to make our church a meaningful place of worship and friendly fellowship and an active leader in Christian education.

Active lay participation guided by our pastor and congregation council is key to our growth.
But our most important growth comes from spreading God's word and his love for us all.

We invite you to attend our services to learn more about our Christian faith or if you are looking for a church home in Waterloo.

Contact Pastor Robb and inform him of your desire to unite in membership with St. Paul's Church.

Unbaptized adults, baptized adults from non-Lutheran churches and baptized but unconfirmed Lutheran adults need to attend a 5 session "Membership Class" taught by Pastor Robb and attend a "New Member Orientation".

Adults who are confirmed member of other Lutheran churches arrange with their former congregation to have their membership transferred to St. Paul's and attend a "New Member Orientation".

Children are received into membership with their parents. Unbaptized children are baptized.

The History of St. Paul's Church:

St. Paul's had its beginning on June 11, 1906. At this first meeting of organization a constitution was adopted. The first service was held in the Waterloo City Hall on July 1, 1906. On August 26th, forty-one charter members celebrated communion, elected the first council, and installed Rev. A. C. Peterson as their pastor.

1908 was the year land was purchased and a church was built, which was dedicated in 1909. Seminary students served the congregation from November 1909 until June 1911. Pastors serving from June 1911 to September 1928 included C.P. Weiskotten, E. T. Finck, J. M. Ramsey and C. A. Kipps.

In December 1928 the Rev. F.O Broesicke became pastor. The decision to remodel was made in 1930. The Women's Missionary Society presented the gift of a new organ which was dedicated with the church. In 1945 the interior of the church was decorated.

The Rev. Louis Piehl served at St. Paul's from 1947 until 1952, when the Rev. Leroy Futscher assumed the pastorate until 1955. The Rev. Donald Wandersee became pastor in 1956 and in September the congregation celebrated its 50th anniversary. The property adjacent to the church was purchased in 1961. Kenneth Walstrom became pastor in 1963. In 1964 the present parsonage was built and dedicated.

The Rev. Gerald Goodrich in 1967. In 1972 the interior of the church was extensively remodeled and an addition and parking lot were constructed. Rev. James Kannenberg served the church beginning in 1976. In June of 1981 the 75th anniversary of the church was celebrated.

From August 1987 through August 1989 St. Paul's was privileged to have two seminary students as interns: James Bump and Mark Bartusch.

A new parking lot was added to the south end of the church in 1988. Special services were held May 15, 1988 to help Pastor Kannenberg celebrate 25 years in ministry.

The 85th anniversary was held in 1991. Pastor Kannenberg retired in 1998 and the end of the year and Pastor Robb Kosky came to St. Paul's in 1999.

A building project with a new entry to the back and remodeling in the basement took place in 2002. In 2005 remodeling was done to the upper level of the narthex and nave.

We celebrated our 100th anniversary in 2006 and we will continue to grow.
