As early as 1985, the congregation of the Zion Lutheran Church in Browerville began to realize they were running out of room. After much discussion between the members of the congregation, they decided to build an addition to their church to better accommodate their growing needs. Since 1985, the congregation had been saving money and discussing possible plans for an addition. It was not until October 1999 that the final plan was agreed upon. Pastor John Dalen said that church member Mike Schultz played a very important role in the addition project. Schultz actually designed the majority of the project on his home computer.
