Faith Lutheran Church
The congregation of Faith Lutheran Church began meeting in the basement of the former Pike school building on Sunset Road and then in Peabody House on the campus of Phillips Academy. Faith Lutheran became a formal, distinct body of the Lutheran Church of America on Sunday December 1, 1963. [1]
The congregation purchased a parcel of land on the corner of Main Street and Wildwood Road in 1964.
At a sunrise Easter Service in 1965, Christ Church Rector, J. Edison Pike presented the Faith Lutheran congregation with a foundation stone from his church. [2] [3]
on South Main Street dedicated its addition on Sunday, September 30, 2012. [4] The church opened in January, 1967. The church was designed by the architecture firm Royal Barry Wills and the blueprints for the structure are digitized and held in the Historic New England Digital Collections. [5]
