Ole Hager donated two acres of land for the church and cemetery. The church building was 56 X 26 feet, cost $1,636.65 and was dedicated July 15, 1900 by Reverend L.P. Thorkveen. On June 22, 1908, the church was destroyed by a cyclone. Church services were held in homes until the church was rebuilt, the same size on the same foundation at a cost of $2,161.65.
The second church building was also destroyed, being stuck by lighting and burned to the ground on June 19, 1931. The Ladies' Aid had purchased the old Bank building in Dovray and this was used for services until and agreement was made with the German Lutheran Church of Dovray to use their church, which became the property of Our Savior's in 1945.
In 1952 a new church was built in town and dedicated. A parsonage was built near the church in 1963.
