Add PhotosThe Evangelical Church was founded in 1800 by Jacob Albright. In 1807, a year before his death, he was elected Bishop of his growing movement — "Die Deutsche Evangelische Gemeinde," or the German Evangelical Church. In 1816, the church took on the name "The Evangelical Association" at its first annual conference.
Around 1850, a new mission church was founded in Southwark. Known as the Southwark Mission, and later the First German Evangelical Church of Southwark, the little church was also referred to as the German Evangelical Church or the Dutch Evangelist Church.
Around 1853, the congregation established a churchyard burial ground on the property; in or about 1857, the burial ground was closed, probably because space was needed for an addition to the church. Burials were moved in 1864 to Mount Moriah Cemetery, and the church building was eventually sold in 1893.
Today, homes occupy the site.
