Waterloo Ridge Lutheran Church is located northwest of the unincorporated community of Dorchester, Iowa, United States.

[3] The first trustees were Hans Johnson Gaare, John Svenson, and Peter Martinson; with Anders Larson and Ole Clauson acting as incorporators as well.

The script on the archway reads in Norwegian: Kom til Guds Hus (Come to Gods House).

Lancet windows with Gothic tracery and stained glass line the side walls of the Waterloo Ridge church.

The interior features a gallery in the back, semi-circular pews flanked by aisles, and an ornately carved wooden altar, pulpit, and communion rail in the chancel.

The grey steel woven wire fence and archway, the contributing structure, are located along the north side of the property.
