Our Savior's United Lutheran Church
  Our Savior's United Lutheran Church was organized in 1942 by the merger of Gethsemane Lutheran Church (1900) and Siloam Lutheran Church (1890), both of which had been served by the same pastor since 1939. The Our Savior's United congregation, a member of the United Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church, worshiped at 2624 N. Fairfield Ave., the former home of Gethsemane. Faced with the prospect of needing a larger facility, yet uncertain of their ability to raising the needed funds, Our Savior's United approached Ebenezer Evangelical Lutheran Church, which was also considering the construction of a new building. The two congregations merged in 1947 to form Atonement Lutheran Church. A new building was constructed on the northwest corner of North and Rutherford Avenues.
