HISTORY
> Meeting was held December 12, 1889 at the Walcott school house to organize a congregation and call a pastor.
> Pastor Rasmus J. Wisnaes accepted a call to serve as interim pastor every fourth Sunday and served for 10 years.
> The Ladies Aid organized on June 28, 1894. A group of 16 women met monthly in members' homes.
> Cornerstone for the new church building was laid June 8, 1898, was completed in 1899 and dedicated in 1903.
> Walcott Lutheran was part of the Norman Parish along with Gol, Dovre, Norman, St. John and Christiana.
> On December 4, 1899, Gol, Walcott and Dovre formed their own parish and called their own pastor.
> A few years later the Dovre church left the parish and the Walcott-Gol parish was formed.
> A new parsonage was built at the current site on February 9, 1906 for a cost of $3,400.
> 1947 the church steeple was struck by lightning and burned. The church proper was saved because of the "bucket brigade" formed by area fire departments. Bystanders prayed and it began to rain.
> In 1957 the education unit was added on along with a water system.
