Friedens Church was founded on January 18, 1896. The vision for a church in the Geronimo area took shape with the missionary zeal of the Rev. John Albert Kypfer of the St. Martin's Church in Hortontown. He conducted services at Specht and Frankfort Schools to the eager worshippers in the area. With the leadership of ten faithful men and their families a letter that formed Friedens Church was signed. The name Friedens was chosen because of the rich German heritage of the group. The word Friedens meaning "peace." The Rev. J. G. Muelder of the St. Martin Lutheran Church was the minister.
