The immigants that built this church were followers of a charismatic preacher named Hauge, and the followers were often called Haugeans. It was illegal in Norway to conduct religious assemblies without a Church of Norway minister present, so Hauge was jailed on many occasions. Norwegian immigrants to America who followed Hauge's teachings formed their own synods within the Norwegian-American Lutheran church.
