About Singsaas Lutheran Church, also known as the Old Country Church.

Read up on the storied and unique history of Singsaas Country Church.

The Historic Singsaas Country Church

The doors of the Singsaas church opened way back in 1874, when a group of Norwegians settled in the area. These first settlers came from Singsas Norway, which is where our church gets its name. Close ties still remain between nearby Hendricks, Minnesota, and the town of Singsas, Norway.

Our Musical History

Throughout our 130+ year history, many things have changed. However, one thing has remained constant - our love of beautiful hymns and country church music.

Our sound is simple, pure, and unique. The songs we sing today in our beautiful prairie church are the same songs our forefathers sang over 130 years ago. It's almost as though time has stood still out here, in honor of the beautiful music sung through the decades to honor God, who has so richly blessed us.
