Speaker. the congregation of Honterus Evangelical Lutheran Church consists of American citizens of German heritage who trace their family origins back to Transylvania. in the Carpathian mountains of Europe. Many of them came here at the turn of the century to flee persecution and oppression. They brought with them a thirst for freedom and they have added significantly to the rich immigrant heritage of this country.

They have always reached out and Joined with the community in times of need and have run many programs for youth. seniors. and the less fortunate.
