A Brief History of
Eldersburg, Maryland
The word "history" is
defined as an account of what has happened in the life or
development of a group of people, countries, or
institutions. Obviously, many changes have taken place
throughout history. The saying, "The only constant is
change," is as true today as it was when time began.
Certainly anyone who has lived in the Eldersburg, Maryland,
area for even a few years has to be amazed by the number of
changes that have taken place. New housing developments dot
the countryside with school constructions and renovations
keeping pace. Grassy fields have given way to department
stores, banks, fast food restaurants and, of course,
churches.
Change also has been a
large part of Holy Spirit Lutheran Church since its
beginning. Our Church was formed a little more than 30 years
ago. Since then, we have periodically grown and settled in;
moved; and then grown and settled some more.
When our congregation
began in 1965, it was known as "The Lutheran Chapel of the
Holy Spirit." Leadership was provided by Pastor Walter
Tappert, a Board of American Mission Developer from the
Lutheran Church of America. Pastor Tappert was called
directly from the seminary in June, 1965. The first worship
service was conducted in October, 1965, in the Knights of
Columbus Hall on Liberty Road in Harrisonville, Maryland.
Fifty-four adults and thirty children were charter members.
Of this group, three families remain active in the Church to
this day: the Vearas, the Clises and the Schneiders. The
original charter petitioning the Delaware-Maryland Synod for
status as a congregation was signed by all 84 Charter
Members and is an important piece of the congregation's
history.
