This relatively austere, classical church was built by German Lutherans to accommodate the influx of German settlers to Cumberland during the mid-nineteenth century. Originally part of the St. Paul’s congregation, this group separated in order to maintain sermons in their native German. The town donated the land and offered a clock to the first of two German religious faiths competing to erect new edifices, lending the church its name. Legend has it that the Lutherans won because the women of the congregation provided torches to enable construction into the night. The church’s prominence within the city skyline is established by its hilltop location and soaring four-part tower that encompasses the clock, belfry, and spire. The church was designed by a member of the congregation. The interior comprises a narthex, nave, and raised chancel, with a balcony that features one of the oldest working Opus No. 36 Moller organs extant.
