This Lutheran church on River Avenue in Starbuck, in the Rural Municipality of Macdonald, was formed through the merger of Bethania Lutheran Church and St. Paul’s Lutheran Church. The building was designed by the architectural firm of Gaboury Lussier Sigurdson Architects and constructed in 1967. An Second World War honour roll for the former Bethlehem Lutheran Church is displayed in the basement of the church.
