In 1888 Merrill's final Lutheran chrch began as a spiritual growth organization for seven Swedish women. On October 6, 1891 thirteen Swedish families at the Norwegian Lutheran Church at 207 East Fourth Street (not extant) to organize the Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Church. In 1892 the congregation built its first frame church (not extant) on East Third Street, and in 1900 a parsonage (not extant) was erected. In 1924 the congregation adopted the name Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran Church. In 1927 the old church was razed, and a new brick structure went up at the same site. Architects C.J. and R.H. Johnson of Chicago designed the new church, and Pehrson Brothers of Minneapolis served as contractors. The new church had a pressed brick exterior, cornices of Bedford stone, asphalt shingles, and a seating capacity of 350.
