Although there were already two Lutheran parishes active in the Volga German community of South Tacoma (Trinity Lutheran and Zion Lutheran), the distance between the churches was perceived to be preventing some people from attending. Consequently, beginning in January, 1909, several families began meeting privately for afternoon or evening workship and meetings. Under the leadership of the Rev. George Köhler of Olympia, a new congregation called "Evangelische Lutherische Friedens Gemeinde" (Peace Lutheran Church) was organized and the charter signed on 9 May 1909 with 61 voting members.
The Evangelical Congregational Church in Tacoma was organized in 1920.
Zion German Evangelical Congregational Church was organized in 1888 and the first church structure was built. This building was moved one block north in 1901 and converted into a school (this structure was subsequently demolished). The new facility was completed in the fall of 1901.
At some point, the Zion congregation and the Philadelphia congregation merged.
Currently this congregation is called Zion Philadelphia United Church of Christ.
