The Kassel Reformed Church near Lincoln Valley celebrated its 75 Anniversary on May 18, 1975. Three former pastors returned to help in the celebration. They were, Rev. Neale Riffert, Aberdeen, South Dakota; Rev. Lloyd Gross, Garner, Iowa; and Rev. Vernon Pollima, Sutton, Nebraska.
The Kassel Reformed Church began May 20, 1900, when nine families organized a congregation in the George H. Sprenger farm home. The descendants of these families who make up the congregation today are the Dockters, Feils, Raus and Sprengers.
These founding families, among the evangelical believers who settled in the area, were of Reformed convictions and chose the Heidelberg Catechism as their doctrinal standard and became a part of the German Reformed Church. They were Germans who came to North Dakota via Russia as so many others in the area of the Dakotas and Nebraska.
They were part of the Goodrich Reformed Charge which included the Zion Congregation, north of McClusky and west of Lincoln Valley, The Salem Congregation, northwest of Martin, the Immanuel Congregation, near Harvey the Neudorf, north of McClusky, and Neu Danzig in Denhoff.
The Kassel Congregation is the only surviving congregation of the charge.
The present officers of the congregation are elders Gottfried Rau and Walter Sprenger, and Deacons Martin Dockter and Tilmer Reiswig. The present pastor of the congregation is Rev. Herman Van Stedum.
The Kassel Reformed Church building which was erected in 1913 is located three miles west of N.D. Highway 14, the intersection on N. D. 14 is thirteen miles south of Anamoose or fourteen miles north of Denhoff.
