Information

504 South Main Street - Built in 1867. In 1867, John Fredrick Kerner, eldest child of Joseph Kerner, deeded almost two acres of land for a church & graveyard for the Moravian Church. John Fredrick and his two sons, Nathaniel & Elias, oversaw the construction of the original 34' x 50' building. The brick for the original building was handmade from clay from the Kerner property, and the cornerstone was laid on May 1, 1867.

The church has seen several major modifications through the years, including the addition of the steeple & belfry in 1888, redecoration of the interior in 1892 by Jule & Henry Korner, a stained glass addition in 1917, as well as many other additions and renovations that you see today.
