St. John's Lutheran Church - Luseland

A group of Lutheran settlers arrived from Nebraska in 1908. A parish was officially organized on 16 October 1910 and was sometimes referred to as the German Lutheran Church near Hearts Hill.

A church building was constructed in 1913.

St. John's Lutheran Church disbanded in 1953 and many members joined Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.

The church building was sold to the Evangelical Free Church and moved into Luseland in the summer of 1954. In 1980, the building was moved to Rutland where it served as the "Rutland Community Chapel."
