St. Peter's Lutheran Church

St. Peter's Lutheran Church is a Gothic limestone building at the corner of North King and West High streets in Shepherds Town, WV.

The church was established in 1765, when a handful of Lutherans began meeting in a private home.The congregation built its first church in 1795, a brick structure on East German Street near the old Lutheran graveyard and across the street from the Old German Reformed Church, now Christ Reformed Church.
That building was remodeled and expanded in 1868 and was used until 1908, when the current church was dedicated. Years later, the old church was destroyed in a fire that was that was started by sparks from a steam engine on a passing train.

St. Peter's is the oldest Lutheran church in West Virginia.
