Biographical history
The Cariboo area was served by missionaries of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod in the mid 1920s, including Rev. C. Pfotenhauer of Vernon and Rev. W. Werning of Revelstoke. During their twice yearly trips they dealt with approximately one hundred Lutherans including thirty children. In the mid 1930s they were assisted by Rev. F. Pfotenhauer from Kamloops. Between 1934 and 1960 the whole Cariboo area became the jurisdiction of a number of clergy from Kamloops. They served Lutheran families in Ashcroft, Loon Creek, Clinton, Forest Grove, Bridge Lake, Horse Lake, Roe Lake, 100 Mile House and Big Lake, usually visiting in June and October between Sundays. In 1958 Rev. D. Pfotenhauer was called to Williams Lake (St. John's congregation) and attempted to establish regular services at 100 Mile House as well. He met with mixed success and left the area in 1975. In 1982 a new pastor, Rev. Dennis Neels, came to William's Lake and house services with 19 regular attendees began at 100 Mile House. Rev. Dennis Neels started Saturday evening services every two weeks until 1984 when they moved to a school house. Their efforts were supported by a three year grant from the Lutheran Women's Missionary League. In 1984 they also received support from St. John's Williams Lake, Trinity Quesnel and the ABC District to appoint a vicar, Stephen Grant, and build a church. Christ The King Lutheran Congregation was formed and a church dedicated. In 1988 the congregation joined the newly formed Lutheran Church-Canada. In 1994 the congregation celebrated their tenth anniversary. They were served at that time by a vicar, Colin Liske, from Vanderhoof.
