Bethel Lutheran Church is a historic church located at Main and Fifth Streets in Faith, South Dakota. The church was built in 1925 by a NorwegianLutheran congregation that formed in Faith in 1917. While Norwegians were one of the largest immigrant groups in western South Dakota, the church is one of the few remaining Norwegian-American sites in Meade County. The church has a vernacular Gothic design typical of Norwegian Lutheran churches. A bell tower with an octagonal spire rises above the front entrance; the tower has Gothic arched openings on all four sides of the bell. The rest of the church is relatively plain and lacking in Gothic details; its significant features include stained glass windows and a Gothic nave plan.[2]
