Texas Historic Marker on the Immanuel Lutheran Church
Immanuel Lutheran Church
German immigrants began settling in the new railroad town of Taylor in the 1880's. Lutheran worship services were held as early as 1885 and the Rev. L. J. Glatzle and fourteen families formally organized this congregation in 1888. The Rev. Gus Sziliat became the church's first resident pastor when a parsonage was built in 1892. A frame church building completed in 1898 was destroyed in a 1916 fire, but the congregation soon rebuilt. Worship services were conducted in the German language until the 1940's. The church remains a reflection of the town's ethnic heritage.
