Mr. and Mrs. Ole Erickson, one of the six families that were instrumental in establishing the St. Peter Lutheran church, donated the land on which the church and cemetery are located. The church was incorporated in 1884 and named St. Petri Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Congregation. A wood frame church was built and this was later replaced by the present pretty field stone church in 1947. An additional acre of land was donated for the cemetery by Clarence Hetland in 1957.
