The church was organized in 1892 as Trysil Lutheran. This building was originally built two miles east of Clayton on Spotted Road in 1901, but was moved to its present location in 1949 where it was dedicated on June 18,1950. Zion Cemetery in Clayton, WA is still a property of the church.
Organized by Norwegian Emigrees, this church is both patterned and named after the original Lutheran Church in Trysil, Norway. The interior is said to be almost an exact copy of the Trysil church. When moved, the church was enlarged and the exterior redesigned, with the steeple, originally exterior to the building, being enclosed by the expansion.
The church plays host to a variety of groups and activities, including:
• Yoga Classes
• Alcoholics Anonymous
• Weight Watchers
• Weekly Bible Study and Dinner
• Weekly Quilting Group
• Weekly Communion and Dinner
