A showplace for the architectural treasures and colorful history of the largely German Lutheran pioneers who made their way to NW Ohio and made it their home.
"How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord, Almighty! Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you."
(Psalm 84:1,4)
“When we see a spire from the road, that sight ought to make our hearts beat like the heart of a lover at the sight of the roof under which his lover dwells. We ought to be unable to take our eyes off it.”
- John Vianney
- John Vianney
"Be a sinner and sin boldly, but believe and rejoice in Christ even more boldly..."

Please stop by my Photobucket pages and enjoy NW Ohio's churches!
While I am ELCA, this is not an ELCA-only blog. This blog is meant to celebrate our architecture and history as Lutherans. This blog is NOT the place for doctrinal debates, or that exercise in sectarian arrogance politely known as "apologetics". No such posts of this type will be approved. Thank you for treating your fellow Lutherans and fellow Christians with tolerance, acceptance, and respect.
