   In May of 1969, a call was sent to Rev. Donald Bletscher of St. Joseph, Missouri to become the pastor of the church and the call was accepted. It was joyous occasion on August 10, 1969 to welcome Reverend and Mrs. Bletscher and son, Mark, to the church with an impressive Installation Service, followed by a reception and fellowship dinner. It was especially gratifying that even in the midst of vacation time, practically the entire church family was present for the happy day.

   The Rev. Donald H. Bletscher, now in his seventh year as pastor of Evangelical Congregational, served three pastorates in the Midwest (the last in St. Joseph, Mo.) before coming to his present church. A native of Kansas, he received his B.A. degree from Westmar College In Iowa and the B.D. from Western Evangelical Seminary. While a student in seminary he served as pastor of the Capitol Hill Methodist Church In Southwest Portland. Evangelical Congregational was organized in 1913 as the Second German Congregational Church. It ministered primarily to German speaking persons until 1961 when the church built a new edifice at its present location and changed its name to Evangelical Congregational. Since 1961 all services have been in English, with the ministry geared to the total community.[5]
