Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church (Mayville, Wisconsin)
The Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church is a church in
Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod
.
The group officially organized as a congregation on May 24, 1847, with Pastor Geyer of
Rock River, and the upper church was nicknamed the "Hochheim" congregation. The two congregations remained separate for 103 years. After the Hochheim church was twice destroyed by fire, the congregations merged in 1957 at the "River Church" location.[1]
Both congregations operated Christian Day Schools. The lower church officially opened its day school in 1855 and it has been in continual operation ever since.
