Founded in 1929 as a Swedish congregation gathering in a small storefront downtown, the church grew as its membership expanded over the decades. Major expansion followed in the 1980s when a larger building was constructed to meet the community's needs.

The church established schools that shaped how local families approach education and faith, becoming woven into the community's choices about raising children. Many households in the area send their young people through these institutions.

The structure underwent a major rebuild in the mid-1980s, replacing earlier smaller locations and representing a substantial leap in size. This shift reflected how rapidly the local congregation had expanded over a few decades.
