Did You Know...

Dr. Max A. Kapp was our acting minister in 1957, for a short time when we had no settled clergy (1956-8). Rev. Kapp was a professor and Dean at the SLU theological school. He also filled in as interim minister in Potsdam in Baptist and Presbyterian churches. Courier and Freeman, 5/9/1957, p. 13.
