Congregation History
The Historical Works Committee of the North Carolina Synod assists the synod in preserving and capturing its heritage and history. Over the course of several years, the committee has worked to obtain the history of more than 200 congregations in North Carolina.
 

Through the hard work of the committee, there are updated histories for many of our congregations. However, some congregation histories may be inaccurate, incomplete or missing. Is your congregation history out-of-date? Is your congregation not listed? Contact Historical Works Committee Chair Larry Witmer to add your congregation or update its history.

On Demand Book

Whereas individual congregational histories may be viewed below, a book is available that contains all the histories in printed format for those who prefer to read them that way.  The cost of the book is $17.20 plus shipping and tax, payable to the on-demand publisher, Lulu.com.  The publisher also provides a FREE download of the entire contents of the book for those preferring that.  If interested, please click here.
