History

The Rev. Emil Mohn began holding a Bible study at the home of Juan Dietz on 23 June 1926.  This marked the beginning of the German Lutheran congregation in Bovril.  The families known to have been involved in this organization include those of: Johannes (Juan) Dietz, Andreas (Andrés) Heinze, Georg (Jorge) Müller, David Herbel, Friedrich (Federico) Herbel, Gottfried (Godofredo) Kerps, and Konrad (Conrado) Graff.

On 1 January 1960, the parish divided into two: Viale (south) and Bovril (north).

The congregation is affiliated with the Iglesia Evangélica del Río de La Plata (IERP).
