    •      He was ordained on 5 July 1874 in Die Deutsche Evangelische Synode des Westens (The German Evangelical Synod of the West). The denomination was known after 1877 as Die Deutsche Evangelische Synode von Nord-Amerika (German Evangelical Synod of North America); after 1925, as the Evangelical Synod of North America. In 1934, the denomination merged with the Reformed Church in the United States to become the Evangelical and Reformed Church. Another merger, in 1957, with the Congregational Christian Churches, resulted in the United Church of Christ.
           Rev. Bierbaum served as pastor of the church in Holstein, Missouri from 1879-1886, during which a new parsonage and a new brick church were built. In 1884, the congregation changed its name to the German Evangelical Immanuels Church of Holstein. Rev. Bierbaum returned to serve the church in 1888-1890. From 1890-1897 he was the pastor of Evangelische St. Johannis Gemeinde (St. John's Evangelical Church) at Herman, Sheboygan County, Wisconsin.

      The following biographical sketch was published in 1885.

           Rev. Mr. Bierbaum is a native of St. Charles county, born on his father's farm in that county, October 31, 1852. His early youth was spent on the farm, assisting at such work as he could do and attending the neighborhood schools. However, while he was yet a youth his parents removed to Warren county, where they made their permanent home. In 1868 young Bierbaum entered the Central Wesleyan College, at Warrenton, where he took a two-years' course. He then matriculated at the Missouri Seminary, where he studied for four years, and on the 5th of July, 1874, was regularly ordained a minister of the Evangelical Church of North America. He shortly received a call from Wisconsin and went to that State, where he was engaged in the work of the ministry for five years. While there, on the 15th of October, 1874, he was married to Miss Ernestine Fiebig, a daughter of August Fiebig, of Sheboygan county, that State. Mr. Bierbaum returned to Warren county in 1879, and has since been occupied with the duties of the ministry in that county. He is a man of fine scholarly attainments, thoroughly versed in theology, an able and eloquent preacher, and, above all, a profoundly ernest and zealous Christian minister. Mr. and Mrs. Bierbaum have 5 children: Herman H., Daniel, Paul, Theodore and Emma. Mr. B. was the sixth in the family of 10 children of H. H. and Wilhemina (Gosejacob) Bierbaum, both originally from Germany.

      A biographical sketch of Rev. Herman H. Bierbaum, published in 1907, included this brief chronology of Rev. A. J. H. Bierbaum's career.

           Rev. H. H. Bierbaum, pastor of the Evangelical Trinity church of the town of Brookfield, comes of a family which has many representatives in the same work. His father, Rev. A. J. H. Bierbaum, was born in Marthasville, Mo., Oct. 31, 1849, and married Miss Ernestine Fiebig, who was born Feb. 5, 1853. The former was ordained for the ministry in 1874, his first charge being at Prescott, Wis., where the subject of this sketch was born on Oct. 24, 1875. His next charge was at Rhine, Sheboygan county, and he remained several years at each point. He then returned to Warren county, Mo., taking a church at Holstein, where he remained for twelve years. Later he spent two years in Denver, Col., then several years in Missouri, six years at Ada, Wis., several years in Iowa, and then came to Milwaukee, which is his present residence. He has suffered from poor health which has necessitated considerable travel and some changes of residence. There were eleven children in the family, of whom seven are living, viz., Rev. H. H. Bierbaum, the subject of this sketch; Daniel, a minister, residing in Beecher, Ill., Paul, a minister, residing in Millville, Minn.; Theodore, a minister, residing in Old Ripley, Bond county, Ill.; Anna, unmarried, resides with her parents; Jonathan, now in college at Elmhurst, Ill., preparing for the ministry; and Emma, residing at home.
