German settlers from Volhynia (an area bordering Russia) arrived in Manitoba's Interlake region in 1908, establishing through fishing and cattle ranching a thriving community. Their Lutheran faith was strong but the construction of a church wasn't possible until 1916. However, the project proved to be a difficult one and the building was not completed until 1921. The wait was worth it, for the resulting building is a fine piece of design, very German in its character, with a compact nave and solid tower set into the building. The church served an active congregation until 1964, and has been used for special functions since then.
