Pillar Christian Reformed Church Postcard

Pillar Christian Reformed Church began when a small group of Dutch immigrants arrived at Holland in early February 1847. By 1854 the membership grew too large for the old log chapel and the congregation voted to erect a larger church. Two years later, June 29, 1856, Rev. A.C. Van Raalte dedicated this structure.

Local craftsmen built the six hand made pillars on the site. The pillars have a solid cedar post in the center and the outside is made of tapered boards somewhat like barrel staves.
