Bethel Lutheran Church was organized July 15, 1900 in a brick school house four miles west of Rogers.
An affiliate of Our Savior's Lutheran Church of Valley City, along with Fingal and Minnie Lake, it was served by Pastor N. I. Berg at the time of the organization.
Prior to the organization, meetings had been held in the school house with various pastors serving on an intermittent basis. Rev. Bothne had performed the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Paulson on July 10, 1886. Three individuals had been baptized.
On April 26, 1928 the Congregation purchased the unused Methodist church building at Rogers and it was re-named "The Bethel English Evangelical Lutheran Church of Rogers.'' The Ladies Aid paid $750.00 for the building.
In 1928 the Bethel Congregation was separated from the Valley City parish and became a part of the Dazey, Rogers and Sanborn parish.
An extensive remodeling project was
completed in 1975 and the only objects remaining from the old church are two chairs and a portrait of the Ascension. The Bethel congregation now has 154 confirmed members, an active A.L.C.W., a Luther League and Sunday School.
