Book excerpt: Excerpt from 1962 Proceedings of the One Hundred and Fifty-Eighth Annual Convention of the United Evangelical Lutheran Synod of North Carolina of the United Lutheran Church in America Reliable history involves dates, facts and events. Significant dates in North Carolina Lutheranism, are 1743, 1773, 1803, 1863, 1918, 1921, and now, 1962. The first German immigrants began to arrive in North Carolina in 1743. By 1747, there were four Lutheran congregations organized in North Carolina; Friedens, Guilford County; St. John's and Zion (organ) in Rowan; and St. John's, in Cabarrus. Historian Conner esti mates that in 1771 there were Lutherans in North Carolina. Dr. W. T. Whitsett observes that, Contrary to the rule with certain other denominations, the Lutherans did not think it necessary to wait for regular ministers in order to begin their church work; they set up their church services upon arrival, and with their duly elected deacons and elders conducted regular religious worship. Gonse crated laymen sponsored these worship services for approximately thirty (30) years before ordained ministers were on the field.
