Our story began as Norwegian Lutheran immigrants gathered in a one room school two miles north of Gilbert. In a few years they built their first sanctuary on a hill across the road from that school. Kenny Fossel, who lives just a mile south and a ½ mile east of the old church, remembers the stories of how his father, Amos Fossel, moved that church in 1927 to Gilbert – a very slow process on dirt roads. In 1976 the congregation moved to its present site and built a new sanctuary. An education unit was built in 1985. Because of growth, a new sanctuary, fellowship hall and offices were built in 1994.
A warm and welcoming community of caring people providing opportunities for growth in fatih and service to others.
