Bethany Lutheran Church is a white clapboard country church with a steepled bell tower on Highway 11 in Loman, in the Rainy River Valley of Koochiching County. The congregation belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, in its Northeastern Minnesota Synod. Like the other early churches of these homesteading communities — Loman’s post office dates to 1901 — it has long been a gathering place for the families of the surrounding farm country, and Sunday worship continues at the little church at 7667 Highway 11.
