Paderborn County is a predominantly Catholic region and so it wasn't before 1900 that a first evangelical (Lutheran) church was built in Altenbeken. However, this first evangelical church was destroyed by a fire in 1934. Construction works for its successor, today's evangelical church, began on 11 November 1934 and the new church was inaugurated on 14 July 1935. The Altenbeken parish has their own pastor, but organizationally belongs to the larger Bad Driburg parish.

Der Kreis Paderborn ist traditionell überwiegend katholisches Gebiet und so wurde in Altenbeken erst 1900 eine evangelische Kirche erbaut, die aber 1934 einem Großfeuer zum Opfer fiel. Die heutige evangelische Kirche ist ihre Nachfolgerin, der Bau wurde am 11. November 1934 begonnen und am 14. Juli 1935 wurde sie eingeweiht. Die Altenbekener Gemeinde hat eine eigene Pfarrstelle, gehört aber organisatorisch zur größeren evangelischen Kirchengemeinde Bad Driburg.
