  • The town of New Melle is home to one of the oldest Lutheran settlements in St. Charles County, Missouri. In 1839, settlers from Melle in Lower Saxony settled here, thus the name of "New Melle." St. Paul's parish was later established in 1844. The parish predates the Missouri Synod by three years, and it eventually became one of only twelve churches who signed the original charter which established the Missouri Synod in 1847.

  • A great little place that I've totally missed over the years. I ate here today and had a burger that was awesome. The fries were also the big thick kind, not the little dairy sissy kind. The burger was thick and juicy and taste like it was grilled over wood. The place is small... There's even a little closet sized room that has a barber chair in it and apparently on Thurs afternoons people come to get a haircut. Quaint eh?

  • Taken at the Friedens-Peace United Church of Christ. Friedens Peace United Church of Christ seeks to be a transformative community where following Christ finds expression in both word and deed. <br />
<br />
Friedens (Peace) United Church of Christ was started by a group of residents who broke off from the St. Paul 's Lutheran Church . In 1858, there were two Lutheran Churches in New Melle ? St. Peter's and St. Paul 's.  St. Paul 's congregation joined the Missouri Synod.  That same year the St. Peter's Congregation built a new church of native stone (the building that is now St. Paul 's).  The two churches were originally united, but had split over doctrinal issues. In 1868, they reunited and became St. Paul 's Missouri Synod Lutheran Church .<br />
<br />
Some members continued to be unhappy and according to St. Paul 's records, the dissent was over doctrine.  The first records of Friedens begin in 1904.  Some family names appear in both the St. Paul and Friedens (Peace) records.  Included in both records were the families of Henry Schewede, John Nienheuser, Jacob Boehm, Ernst Brakensiek, and John Doermann.  Fourteen voting members had a dream of starting a new church by accepting the doctrinal statement of the German Evangelical Church Society of the West.  This new church would eventually become the Friedens (Peace) United Church of Christ we know today.<br />
<br />
The first minister was Rev. Stroetker, resident Pastor of St. John's Church in Cappeln.  This was the beginning of a long history of sharing a minister with St. John's .  The first service was held in German on August 28, 1904 , in the Peniel Methodist Church on Schutzen Street (now part of a private residence).<br />
<br />
The property on which Friedens church is located was purchased from John and Laura Koelling in 1905 for $2,400.  The building on the property had been used as a grocery store/saloon.  Ernest Sudbrock was chosen as carpenter to do the remodeling, along with a lot of volunteer help.

  • St. Paul's Church also known as St.Paul's Lutheran Church and Day School and St. Peter's Luthera is a historic church in New Melle, Missouri built in 1860 by A. Carl Schlottmann. St. Paul's Lutheran Church was founded by German immigrants in 1844 and was the first Lutheran Church in St. Charles County. The property, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 as a Historic Place in St. Charles County, Missouri. A Small Town Place Of Congrigation and Prayer, St Paul's Lutheran Church is located at 150 W Hwy D New Melle, MO 63365. <br />
<br />
The town of New Melle is home to one of the oldest Lutheran settlements in St. Charles County, Missouri. In 1839, settlers from Melle in Lower Saxony settled here, thus the name of "New Melle." St. Paul's parish was later established in 1844. The parish predates the Missouri Synod by three years, and it eventually became one of only twelve churches who signed the original charter which established the Missouri Synod in 1847.<br />
<br />
The present native stone church was completed in 1860. The interior has changed little over the past 149 years. Art glass windows were installed in 1974 and various historical enhancements were undertaken in the late 1970s. <br />
<br />
St. Paul's true "claim to fame" is its historical J.G. Pfeffer pipe organ, installed in 1870. A local saying has it that a good Lutheran church would have "a Missouri Synod pastor in the pulpit and a Pfeffer organ in the gallery." One of Pfeffer's earlier works, the instrument at New Melle is considered by some scholars as one of the finest Victorian organs in the country.
