First Lutheran Church

Two Norwegian Lutheran congregations combined September 21st 1920 to create First Lutheran Church with the goal of transitioning to English speaking services. Over 100 years later First Lutheran Church still stands and has expanded! This historical marker was dedicated in the church's centennial year.
