Early in 1957, Pastor Victor Buvinghausen of Trinity Lutheran Church in Port Arthur, recognized that there were probably enough Midcounty Lutherans to support the building of a mission church in either Nederland or Port Neches. And that fact was attested to by Vicar J. Henning of Trinity, who spent several days during the spring of 1957 visiting the homes of the Midcounty Lutherans. The voting membership of Trinity Church soon agreed to sponsor a mission church in Nederland, and late in July, 1957, Candidate John B. Schmid arrived in Nederland to become the first pastor of Holy Cross Lutheran Church.
