“Leindeckers revive 125-year-old church” Green Bay Press Gazette. October 25, 2011.

When Jim and Linda Leindecker stepped into First Church of Christ, Scientist, here in Oconto, Wisconsin, in summer 2010, they found dust, cobwebs, and some old paint.

They also discovered a quaint house of worship, charming in its simplicity, that the Leindeckers well knew held a unique place in the denomination—the first building erected for Christian Science anywhere, in 1886.

As former readers of the Church of Christ, Scientist, in Green Bay, the Abrams had been called upon to close the Oconto church. It had been several years since it hosted services.
