The Gardar Town Church was built in 1911 and was originally named "Luther's Church". The original Gardar Congregation at the Pioneer Church was one of many Icelandic congregations in the US and Canada to organize an Icelandic Synod. The congregation voted to withdraw from the Synod in 1909. A minority group wishing to maintain ties to the Icelandic synod separated and formed a new church known as Luther’s Congregation. The two congregations merged in 1926. The Gardar Lutheran Church dissolved in 1984, with most of its members transferring to the newly organized Pembina Hills Evangelical Lutheran Church, with services being held May through September in the Gardar Town Church.
