The Finnish Apostolic Lutheran Church in Brown County, South Dakota was built in 1884. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]

It served Finnish immigrants, "which in east central South Dakota came primarily from Oulu Province or far northern Finland. This was the area in which the Apostolic movement had its beginnings and greatest popularity in Finland."[2]
