| Additional Information: | In June of 1850, Rev. John Frederick Fett arrived in Green Bay to find a number of Protestant German families had not yet become members of a church because they were unfamiliar with English. Together with a group of German-speaking immigrants, he organized the first Moravian Church in October of 1851. A church was constructed at 518 Moravian Street in Green Bay. Around 1960, the congregation began planning for a new church facility. The existing church was ultimately sold and relocated to Heritage Hill State Historical Park in 1980, funded with a $150,000 donation from the congregation. Around 1960, East Side Moravian Church constructed a new church in the Village of Allouez. In 2010 the congregation consolidated with its sister congregation, West Side Moravian Church in Green Bay. The Allouez Avenue church was then purchased by Christ Alone Church, which occupies it to this day. 2021 - Resurveyed. The Christ Alone Church was built in c.1960 by the East Side Moravian Congregation. The church was purchased by the Christ Alone congregation in 2010. This Contemporary-style church has an L-shaped plan and is clad in brick laid in a running bond pattern with stack bond accents at the corners. The nave of the church runs parallel to Allouez Avenue and has a front facing gable that ends in a prow-like form accenting a projected bay with stained glass windows and a large stone cross. Windows on the nave are two-over-two vinyl replacements with lower transoms. There is a one-story projecting ell that extends to the west of the nave and has a flat top roof. Windows on the ell are aluminum picture windows with six horizontal lights. |
