Among the influx of Swedish settlers into Murray County during the 1870’s were some who came from Scandinavian settlements in Goodhue County. From the years 1883 thru 1885, sixteen families moved to the area from Iowa and Michigan. At this time worship service was conducted in their homes.
The nearest Swedish Baptist Church was located in Indian Lake Township, Nobles County. This settlement became known, because of the density of its ethnic concentration as “Sweden”. John Ekman walked fifty miles to ask the pastor to preach to the Lake Sarah congregation. The Lake Sarah Baptist church was organized on June 2, 1889.
The new church was somewhat despised in the community and some of the members suffered persecution. By 1890 there were eighteen members and it was felt that the time had come to build a house of worship.
The first house of worship was erected in 1891 on land that had been donated by Gust Widboom. In 1903, a new parsonage was built for $895.
Today the congregation worships in its third edifice, the second having burned to the ground in 1932.
