Ebenezer Congregational Church - Sheboygan

Following a meeting that was held 14 June 1911, a congregation was organized as "Erste Deutsche Evangelische Lutherische Kongretionalen Ebenezer Gemeinde." The congregation was received into membership of the Congregational Church and student George Graf was ordained as first pastor. In 1912, the lot was purchased for $860 from John & Mary Müller and the church cornerstone was laid on 3 November 1912 and the building constructed at a cost of $16,000. The new facility was dedicated on Pentecost Sunday in 1913. The Rev. Rudolf Wilken from Au Gres, Michigan, served Ebenezer Congregational Church from 1 February 1915 to 15 October 1917. He was followed by The Rev. Friedrich C. Dodzuweit from Goring, Nebraska, who served from 15 November 1917 to 23 April 1919.

On 2 June 1918, the congregation applied for membership with the Wisconsin District of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri, Ohio and other states (now The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod) and was accepted at the LC-MS Convention held in Watertown on 29 June 1918. Former U.S. Army Chaplain, the Rev. Frederick Proehl served Ebenezer Lutheran Church from 22 June 1919 to 1 May 1926.

However, in 1925 a group from Ebenezer Lutheran broke away and reorganized a German Congregational Church.
