Soon after arriving in Red Jacket, a group of Norwegian immigrants organized a Lutheran church and constructed their first building in 1872. The present structure was built in 1898 on this site secured from C&H. Prior to this the location held a two-story family home with a shed behind it. Local contractor and civic leader Edward Ulseth was active in the congregation, and served on the building committee. The church also has an attached parsonage. Both the church and the parsonage stand today with only slight structural modification since construction in 1898.
