West Paint Creek Synod Evangelical Lutheran Church and Cemetery

West Paint Creek Synod Evangelical Lutheran Church and Cemetery is a historic building and site located northwest of Waterville, Iowa, United States.

[3] A second congregation, known as the West Paint Creek Church, was organized in 1857 because parishioners found it difficult to navigate the poor roads in the area.

Peter and Sophia Paulson deeded a little more than 1 acre (0.40 ha) of land to the West Paint Creek Synod congregation in 1890.

The building exhibits Norwegian immigrant carpentry skills found in the Dutch lap siding, frame construction, paneled doors, pews, and flooring.

The altar's reredos features a painting by itinerant Norwegian immigrant artist Herbjorn Gausta called Resurrection.
