Organized in 1881 the congregation erected a church building in 1883 on the northwest corner of West Twin Lake. It was incorporated in May 1893 and was called Twin Lake Lutheren Church. By the 1920's, when the roads and transportation were improved, most area families transferred their membership to the Lutheran Church in Kanawha. In 1937 the church steeple was struck by lightening and soon it had burned to the ground. A small chapel was erected on the site but was never used for regular services.
West Lake Cemetery,a.k.a, Twin Lake Cemetery, a.k.a. Scandinavian Evangelical Lutheran Church Cemetery, near Kanawha, was canvassed by the W.P.A workers in the late 1930's. Many bodies were moved to the township cemetery west of Kanawha. Earliest record of burial is 1894.
