In 1502 a church foundation was established by brothers Carsten and Otto von Harling, and an Eversen widow, Gesche Vlothwedel.

A large sum of money, which two years later was topped up[clarification needed], was with the authority of Bishop Henry III of Minden and of the church leaders (Kirchenherren) of Bergen[1] invested in the Monastery of St Michael (Kloster St. Michaelis) in Lüneburg and from the interest, a rectorate was established for Sülze.

[3] Exactly when the Reformation was introduced into the parish of Sülze cannot be stated with certainty, but based on the adoption of the new doctrine, it can be deduced that it would have been no later than 1529.

In the early 17th century a new timber-framed church was built under the direction of the district magistrate (Amtsmann), Carl Dietrich.

In order to secure funding for the new church, petitions were lodged with various authorities and requests made from interested parties.

The baptismal font, fashioned from sandstone dates to the year 1608 and was bestowed by the builder of the second Sülzer church, the Amtsmann, Carl Dietrichs.

The current rectory was built at the end of the 18th century on the initiative of the then pastor, Heinrich Schulze, who died of 'consumption' a few years later and did not live to see the new building.

The parish hall, in which confirmation courses and other church activities are held, was built in 1939 after its predecessor had to be torn down as it had fallen into disrepair.

After a long search the choice fell on a field at the exit to the village on the road to Eversen and in 1825 the first burial took place in the new cemetery.

In return for a hereditary graveyard, both lines of the von Harling family relinquished their right to be buried in the church.
