St Olaf Lutheran Church History
The St. Olaf congregation was organized at the James Johnson schoolhouse in Norway Township on the 29th day of September 1888. By 1899 the church had become too small. Two additions were made: one to the east and one to the west, making the church, so far as outside looks are concerned, substantially as it is today. H. C. Enger of Belmond was the contractor who did the work. Knute Lien, a St. Olaf member and carpenter, built our beautiful altar. Sara Kirkeberg Raugland, a sister-in-law of Knute, was commissioned to pain the altar painting.
St. Olaf and Trinity Lutheran Church began sharing a pastor in 1917. St. John Lutheran Church of Belmond joined the two-point ministry in 1970 and the Belmond Lutheran Parish was formed. A new three-year program was established in 1976 by the cluster of seven area congregations. An intern from the seminary was assigned to serve in various capacities throughout the area churches. Our first intern was John Emerson, who served for two years, followed by Franz Schemmel, who served for one year.
