From the Coteau, ND sign on Burke County #8 go ½ mile north and 2-½ miles west. Church & Cemetery This Lutheran Congregation was organized in 1904 by a group of homesteaders predominately Scandinavian emigrants. The group met in the schoolhouse or in homes for their worship services. In 1907, with the new town of Coteau being platted, it was decided to build a church in that location. The Dakota & Great Northern Railway Townsite Company donated the lot in Coteau and the church was dedicated November 6, 1910. Nils Larson donated land to the congregation in 1912 for a cemetery at the location described above. The church was active until about 1967 when it closed due to decline of membership.
