Evangelist Center, Former Grace and Eden-Immanuel Lutheran Church

Grace Lutheran Church first appears in records in 1926 at 6404 Easton Avenue, modern day MLK Dr. in Wellston. I’m a little torn in wondering if there was an earlier congregation in this church, as the architecture seems to suggest an earlier construction date than the 1920s, but I can’t be sure.

By 1960, the Eden and Immanuel Lutheran congregations had taken over the church before they moved on in 1971 further out in to the County. There is a non-Lutheran church in the building today.

It’s a simple brick church, with a belltower that looks like it’s been altered, or at least tuck pointed without mixing the proper colored mortar. Simple, off-the-shelf stained glass fills the massive window on the front facade. It’s a beacon of beauty on a stretch that is otherwise filled with scrapyards.

  1. That address is a typo. This building was constructed in 1900 for Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church, with postal address 6406 Easton (now 6402/4 MLK). A 1929 survey of churches recorded that it had a single bell in its tower, but I have not inspected it.

    I’m wondering If you ever had any thoughts that maybe they don’t bulld them like they used to because they didn’t actually bulld them? They “founded” them ? I have been researching this for decade and that’s where I’m at. There’s too many narratives that don’t add up and are really a slap in our face. Cow kicked over a lantern and melted stone brick bulldings but didn’t burn wooden shacks ? Worlds fairs 33 acre bullding 6 months? And they temporary doesn’t work. Fake construction photos chicago 1893 , st louis 1904, New Orleans 1884, Philly 1876 . United States ended in 1871 and became us corporation after the infiltrators from both North and South enslaved entire population under 14 amendment. If they were able to keep that secret for 100 plus years faking history of the buildings they stole and became owners off isn’t that hard. Every city in America has same issue. And there’s another problem either the narrative is true then that means great depression didn’t happen because 1929 to 1935 more bulldings went up then any other time. I think the new deal was because the people didn’t were fed up with the new government and made new deal to go along with it. New Orleans history admits their local government was taken over by “India trading company ” . Past historians withheld the truth and then 100s copy and pasted it. PLEASE don’t let that happen again the future generations shouldn’t have to go through same as us. History books say 911 was Bin laden attack?? But does it mention that Carlyle group owned by Bush /bin laden family got weapons contracts for next 20 year war ? What about how bin laden blamed for embassy bombing in Africa that Bin laden family got contract to rebuild it ? If we don’t tell the truth and not giving 99 reasons but leave out the main reason were no different than liars of past
