Waterloo Ridge Lutheran Church is located northwest of the unincorporated community of Dorchester, Iowa, United States. It and the church yard form a nationally recognized historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.^[1] The Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Church established the Waterloo Ridge Church, which was incorporated on March 25, 1869.^[2] The first trustees were Hans Johnson Gaare, John Svenson, and Peter Martinson; with Anders Larson and Ole Clauson acting as incorporators as well. Their first church building was a stone structure. It was replaced by the present frame Gothic Revival structure that was dedicated in 1913. It was erected for around $15,000.^[2] An iron gate was built over the walkway into the church. The script on the archway reads in Norwegian: Kom til Guds Hus (Come to Gods House). The Waterloo Ridge Cemetery is located in the churchyard.^[3]
