This is still a work in progress.

Since the church just closed, the usual "church history" on the church website is not available, but a geneological website (not our usual reliable source) says that they've copied it. I've only cited a couple of facts from there and should be able to find duplicate sources for the entire thing, perhaps at the nearby Lutheran Seminary. Early Lutheran history in Philadelphia is - so far - fascinating, but confusing, but I do have some sources. A warning - there is another very early St. Michael's Lutheran in Philadelphia proper which some of the sources might be confusing.

I found what looks like a more complete version (11 pages), nicely formatted at

"History of St. Michael's Lutheran Church" (PDF). ministrylink.org. p. 11. Retrieved December 9, 2016.

I don't know anything about ministrylink.org but it has all the hallmarks of a reliable local history site. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 18:58, 9 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
