"Rock Church, Cranfills Gap, Texas"
©2009 Elroy Christenson


The Rock Church, as it is locally known, is officially Old St. Olaf's Lutheran Church.  The congregation moved to a new building and location in Cranfills Gap but this building remains as a registered historical site. It was built by Norwegian immigrants in 1884 from local limestone.  This region of Texas is recognized as a major Scandinavian community.  The church continues to celebrate the traditional Christmas dinner of lutefisk and potatoes smothered in butter. Many of my own relatives are buried here.  My grandfather Evan Rohne, Norwegian immigrant, is buried to the right front.
