| Founded in 1890, this congregation began with twelve charter members led |
| by German missionary Julius Schroeder. Early worship services were held in |
| homes and in a local school building. The Rev. H. F. Daude was called to serve |
| the church in 1891, and in 1901 the first sanctuary was erected. It was replaced |
| by a second structure in 1925. Some worship services were conducted in the |
| German language until 1949. A new sanctuary was erected in 1975. The oldest |
| church in Buckholts, Hope Lutheran serves a predominantly German and Czech |
| membership. |
