This building on the west side of Minto Street in Winnipeg, designed by local architect Anton Edvin Breivik and built in 1939 by contractor Haakon Magnus Leonard Overgaard, was home for the first Norwegian Lutheran church in the city. In 2005, its congregation merged with that of the First English Lutheran Church. At the time of a 2021 site visit, the building hosted the Faith Bible Church.
