This church in the Municipality of Rhineland was built in early 1905, replacing one dating to around 1885 that was destroyed by fire on 14 January 1905. Formerly located on the site of a cemetery a short distance to the south, it was moved here in 1950. An extensive renovation in the late 1950s or early 1960s changed the orientation of the pulpit and removed separate entrances for women and men. An expansion to the front foyer was built between 2001 and 2002. Originally, the language of worship was German, then jointly English and German from 1983 to 1996, and English only as of 1996.
