A Lutheran Church at Lydiatt, in the Rural Municipality of Brokenhead, was organized in 1909. Initially, church services were held in Lydiatt School. Construction of the church was started in 1955 and completed and dedicated in 1959. An addition to the church was made around 1990, at which time the steeple was removed. A cemetery is located across the road from the church.
