Corning Episcopalians Consecrated A Gray Stone, Early GothicChurch On The Corner Of Erie
Avenue (The Present Denison
Parkway) And Walnut Street.
Local "Corning Stone" Was
Used To Build This House Of Worship.
In March Of 1889, Sparks From A
Nearby Hotel Fire Did Considerable Damage To The Church. Following Repairs, The
Congregation Worshiped In The Church As Best They Could Until A New One Was
Built Nearby. In 1896, The OldChurch
Was Sold To The German Evangelical Lutherans. Later, The U.S.
Government Acquired The Site For The Present Post Office And Assisted In The
Moving Of The Exterior Of The Church To Its Present Site At 71
West First Street. It Has Been A LutheranChurch Ever Since That Time.
In The 1930s, RedeemerLutheranChurch Was Formed As A Mission
Congregation Of The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. Pastors From Wellsboro,
Pa. Served The Congregation Into The 1940s
When The Congregation Called A Fulltime Pastor. In The Mid 1970s, Redeemer
Chose To Leave The Lc-Ms. At That Time, A Small Group Of Parishioners, Wishing
To Remain A Congregation Of The Lc-Ms, Formed FaithLutheranChurch
And Continued Holding Services In The Building.
By God's Grace And With Faith In Him, The Congregation Has Continued To
Teach And Preach God's Word Throughout The Years.
