History

Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church was established in 1873 by members from Trinity Lutheran Church at 10th & Wabash Streets.  Following the death of Pastor Warkentin of the Deutsche Folkskirche, many of the Volga German Lutherans transferred to Immanuel.  At some point, this congregation became known as Emanuel Lutheran Church.

In 1875, Immanuel Lutheran congregation established the West Side Lutheran Cemetery at 340 E. Annapolis St.  It later became known as Riverside Cemetery and many of the original Volga German settlers to St. Paul are buried there.

In 2004, Trinity and Emanuel Lutheran Churches rejoined once again and became Crown of Life Lutheran Church in West St. Paul.  The former building of Emanuel Lutheran is now St. Paul Believers Fellowship.
