In 1917 Rev. D. Bruce Young, then pastor of Monroe Avenue Lutheran church, helped to promote the idea of a Lutheran church in the north end of Columbus. It was felt that such a church could serve Ohio State University students, as well as Lutherans in the neighborhood. A canvass of the area was done.
