German settlers in the southeastern portion of Bradford Township wanted their own church with services in their native language.

[2] The building is one story high, built in the Greek Revival style, with white clapboard siding on the exterior.

The interior was heated with a simple wood stove at the back of the church, and lit with kerosene lamps and Coleman Quick-Lite chandeliers.

The church relied on lay people to do readings, as well as sharing a pastor with St. John's of Weber, Minnesota.

The building and grounds are now used for traditional German cultural programs, weddings, christenings, and memorial services.
