When the American Lutheran Church was formed in 1945 it was not the first Lutheran church in Castlewood, South Dakota. Scandinavian Lutheran Church was located near the current high school but that church became inactive and did not survive the Great Depression. Later, in 1942, their building was destroyed by a tornadic windstorm that caused much damage throughout the town. The first service for what became known as the American Lutheran Church was held on Wednesday, August 15, 1945 the day after the Japanese surrendered ending World War II. Planning for that first service began a month earlier in the home of William Gantvoort when future parishioners gathered to discuss forming a new Lutheran church in Castlewood.
