From historical marker:
This congregation was organized in 1884 to serve Waco's Norwegian population. Originally known as the Scandinavian Evangelical Lutheran Ebenezer congregation, the church conducted worship services in Norwegian until 1916.
In 1917, the name First Lutheran Church was adopted, and the frame building used by the congregation since 1884 was replaced with this stone one.
