Clearwater Evangelical Lutheran Church is a rural former place of worship near the Clearwater River in Equality Township, Red Lake County, Minnesota. It served a congregation of Norwegian Americans which organized in 1898 under the name Clearwater Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Church of America.[4] Before building the church, they met in homes and log schoolhouses.[5]
The cornerstone of the church was dedicated in 1911 and the building was completed 1912 but not wired for electricity until 1949.[4] Norwegian was taught in the church school until 1940 and into the 1950s some worship services were entirely in Norwegian.[4] The church closed in 1988 due to declining membership.[5] Together with the adjacent cemetery, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]
