"St. Michael's Episcopal Church is a biblically-based Church growing in the knowledge and love of our Lord Jesus Christ and sharing that love with others."
History of St. Michaels'
The first meeting to organize was held in January 1959 at the home of Mr. & Mrs. Jack Martin. Fr. Galen Onstad read evening prayer. There were fifteen people in attendance. On February 1, 1959 we held our first service in the Anderson Scout Hall, with Fr. Onstad celebrating.
In the summer of 1959 George Carpenter came to us right out of seminary. In August the present site (seven acres and a house) was purchased. The rectory was remodeled for church services and for living quarters for Fr. George. The house served this dual purpose until the present church was built. In November 1959 the first services were held in the present rectory.
In September 1959 we voted to change the name from The Church of the Epiphany to St. Michael’s.
In February 1962, a meeting was held at Diantha Kannier’s home to discuss a new building; Allyn Martin was chosen as the architect.
