About Waldheim Church

Committed to Spiritual Enlightenment

Year Dedicated: 1875

Services might have begun at Waldheim as early as 1860 in an old log church, though records are lacking. It is known that a new church was built and dedicated in 1875. The church was 41 by 25 feet and had a steeple with a bell. J. B. A. Ahrens wrote that he had “opened a new field” and had a society of 22 members.

The congregation was a part of the German Mission Conference. It was called Boniface Church, after the apostle of the Germans. Through the years, it has also been called St. Tammany Mission, Camp Ground, Talisheek, German Settlement, and now, Waldheim.

On August 29, 1884, John J. Ryan sold 40 acres, which encompassed the church property to the M. E. Church, South, German Mission Conference of Texas and Louisiana.

In 1887, a “tabernacle” (shed) of 40 by 60 feet was built for the Camp Ground. It had a dirt floor covered with pine needles. Fires were lit on several stands around the shed to provide light at night. In the early 1930’s, an addition was built onto the back of the church, and a Fellowship Hall was added in the mid 1950’s.

Various improvements have been made over the years, such as a new organ (1952 & 1967), air conditioning (1971, though the units were stolen the following year), and furnaces (1974). It is thought that a parsonage was built about the same time as Boniface Church.

Mission Statement

Come as you are for a Spiritual Awakening, be baptized by the Holy Spirit, find transformative power of the Gospel message and find community in the grace of Jesus.

What is our Purpose as a Church

Acts 2:38-39
38  Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.  39  The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”

We live a Christian life in our homes and community; we take part in mission to reach out to our neighbors. We participate in the healing of the sick and hurting, and the spreading of Scriptural holiness.

The Bible is our source of truth and inspiration, we identify as disciples of Jesus Christ in a secular world.

Spiritual awakening begins with each of us and we foster a church family and love towards our neighbors.
