Christian Siebenhausen and Karl Wiegand migrated to Kyle from germany in 1883. Other German families soon joined them. In 1886, sixteen of these settlers met at the George Wiegand home to form the first German Baptist Church of Kyle. Services were originally held in homes and Sunday School at the community schoolhouse. A church building and parsonage were erected in 1893 on land acquired from Frank Marstellar. Fire destroyed the first church in 1940. The present rock structure was dedicated in 1941, when the fellowship became Immanuel Baptist Church. |
