Where are the records for the Rogate Norwegian Lutheran Church that existed in Berlin, Lamoure Count
My father was christened in the Rogate Lutheran church located in Berlin, Lamoure County, North Dakota in 1915. This was a Norwegian church that no longer exists. I would like a copy of/transcription of/record of his christening but do not know where the records are archived today.

You might want to research this website at http://www.grhs.org/research/america/ndakota/LaMoure_county_nd.htm. The GRHS is the Germans from Russia Heritage Society. At the website https://edgeleyorlc.com/history/ for Our Redeemer's Lutheran Church in Edgeley, North Dakota, it states, "In 1984, the church bell from the Rogate Lutheran Church, Berlin, ND, was given to Our Redeemer’s Lutheran Church. A Bell Tower was constructed to house the bell and the sign that was erected out front of the church. A dedication service was held in 1985." At http://www.blackseagr.org/pdfs/konrad/Churches - LaMoure County.pdf is a section #13 about the Berlin - Rogate Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Church. In FamilySearch at https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/LaMoure_County,_North_Dakota_Genealogy is a page about LaMoure County, North Dakota Genealogy.

My sister found the article about the church bell and contacted Our Redeemer's Lutheran Church in Edgeley. They still have the bell but do not know anything about the records. Not surprising, since they didn't get the bell until 1985: According to your second source the church in Berlin closed down in 1958.
But... this is more than I knew a few minutes ago, and it gives me a few more places to contact so I am VERY grateful for your reply!!!!!

You might also go to Worldcat.org and search for Berlin, Lamoure County, North Dakota. I got five results and a couple may be of interest to you.

Although this post has nothing to do with U.S. Federal Records, it was posted here before the group was reorganized. A good place to start searching for records from the Norwegian Synod of the Lutheran Church is the following website:
