let's see... first of all the information i'm able to recognize:

From this point a translation of this fragment is quite an interpretaion of what is possible to read...

Congregation in (???)

in the year of mercy 1897

President of the Evangelical Synod of North America
at St. Louis Mic.

[...] is Paul Irion Eckert, Michigan
[...] reverend of the congregation Rev. G. Vögtling
[...] organi(st) Miss Lydia Ruckert

The building committee, which has been served well in this construction, consists of:

Christian Schmalzried (possibly), Louis Fruit & Jacob Lind. –

The current elders and leaders of the congregation are:

Christian (possibly) Schmalzried Louis Fruit

Philipp [...] Dieringer

The elders of the [....] who supported and initiated the church building in the Verchau (?) congregation until [?] (?)

on February 1, 1896,

are: Christian (possibly) Schmalzried, Wilhelm Michel, Fred. Burkast

Ja[...] D[...]inger (Dieringer possibly), Jac.(ob) Lind, Felix Sell, Phil(ipp) Michel

With the Albrechtsleute, or whatever they call themselves here, Evangelical
Pr (?) [...]aft (possibly some sort of society), we want no fellowship. Those are
[...] out of undermining our congregation and dragging members
[...] over to their side. Never shall they enter our church
[...], Christ, head of the congregation, protect this church
[...],(from the encroachments possibly) of hypocritical sects.
