The history of St. Peter’s goes back to 1897 when the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Loxton was first organised by E.J.P. Kaesler before the town of Loxton was formally planned. It originally began as a ‘House Church’ meeting for worship in the houses of John Drabsch of Loxton and A Stanitzki of Bookpurnong. Pastor L Kuss from the Mannum congregation was sent up by the Synod four to six times a year to minister to the spiritual needs of the people.
The settlers never expected to see a flourishing settlement such as we have today, but as the country proved its fertility, numerous Lutherans, many of them from Sedan, Mannum and Dutton moved into the district. In 1904, the congregation resolved to build a stone church measuring 40ft x 20ft x 14ft (12.2m x 6.1m x 4.27m) at a cost of 180 pounds ($360), having a seating capacity of 150.
As early as 1911 the St Petri Congregation had talked about the possibility of erecting a more spacious church. It was allowed to lapse until 1920, when the discussions were re-opened but without any decision being made. At the half yearly meeting, 22nd July, 1923 it was resolved to begin building a new church. The size and scale of this new Church was certainly remarkable and showed the vision of the people at that time.
