Built by twelve families of German Lutheran immigrants in 1873, this church was the center of a vibrant community, high on the ridges between Loganville and the Richland County line, in Willow Township. Ladies Aid records relate the activities held in this building, including purchasing the small altar which is at the rear of the church by selling chicken dinners at a quarter a plate during the early years of the Great Depression.

Willow Church was brought to the Village in 1970 when the congregation had diminished in size. It arrived in two pieces – the roof on one truck, the building on the other. Instead of plaster walls which can crack in heat and cold, pressed tin walls were installed to prevent cracking. It was furnished and opened at the Village in 1973, 100 years from its beginnings. Many different churches and religions are represented inside. Original to this church are the small altar, a pump organ in the front, silver candlesticks on the altar, and a solid white marble baptistry.

The Asbury Chapel Organ in the rear of the church contributes to the intimate atmosphere that make the weddings, vow renewals, and dedications that continue to be held in this very welcoming space very special and memorable.

Next to the church is a reproduction cemetery.  All stones used were donated by area residents who replaced the original with modern stones or markers.
