First English Lutheran Church, Richmond
Dating from 1869, St. Mark’s Lutheran Church also derived from the immigrant German Lutheran community. In 1876, the name was changed to First English by members of the congregation to set the church apart from two others in the city that held services in German. In 1911, a new church was founded at Stuart Circle on Monument Avenue at the western edge of the city.
