The Deutsche Volkskirche (later known as the Riverview Peoples Church) was one of two early congregations in St. Paul in which Volga Germans were active. It was a member of the German Congregational Church and was founded in 1895.
Following the death of Pastor Warkentin, many members transfered to nearby Immanuel Lutheran Church.
