History
There was a German Congregational Church in Cheyenne, Wyoming, as early as 1886 where pastor J. Lange served from 1886-1888. This congregational appears to have disbanded.
Eventually another group later established Zion Congregational Church which was organized in Cheyenne, Wyoming, in 1923.
The original structure was moved to 711 Maxwell Ave., the address where the congregation continues to meet today.
The new building was constructed in 1953 at that location.
