This was one of the early von Mercy settlements that from its inception consisted of German Lutheran Hessians who formed a congregation that was a filial of Gyönk but also had close connections with Varsád, and early information with regard to the families who lived here can be found in the church records of those two communities. The congregation became a Mother Church in 1789 at the time of their approval of their right to organize by the Emperor Joseph. The baptismal/birth records also include Lutheran families living in Belecska, which became a filial congregation early in the 19th century.

The marriage register indicates intermarriages with families from Belecska, Udvári, Gyönk, Nagyszekély, Bátaapáti, Kalaznó, Felsö Nána, Szárázd, Zsribrik, Varsád, Miszla, Kapoly, Bonyhád, Némedi, Kéty, Kötcse, Varalja, Somogydöröcske, Bikal, Kistormás, Paks, Ecsény, Gadács, Murga, Högyész, Sopron, Kölesd, Bonnya and Szabádi.
