This former Lutheran church at Glenboro, in the Municipality of Glenboro-South Cypress, was originally occupied by a Methodist congregation. In 1913, local Methodists joined with Presbyterians to form Glenboro Union Church (later Glenboro United Church). The building was sold to Lutherans in 1922, becoming Glenboro Lutheran Church. The church was deconsecrated in September 2017.
