Good Shepherd Lutheran Church shares a cemetery with St. Matthews Lutheran Church that is located on the west side of Spruce Grove. St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church was formed on May 6, 1891. Initially the cemetery was at the far south section of the property, but after the turn of the century, the new rail-line split the property. This is the way it remained until St. Matthew’s built at their present location, and had their dedication on November 27, 1960. The old church which was to be a historical site as the oldest Lutheran Church west of Winnipeg, burnt to the ground on November 29th, 1963. The metal cross at the top of the steeple somehow managed to be undamaged by the massive fire and was found on the ground the next day. The cemetery has joint use between St. Matthew’s Lutheran ELCIC, Spruce Grove and Good Shepherd Lutheran ELCIC, Stony Plain. At the time of Good Shepherd forming in 1938, many of the forming members, were members at St. Matthew’s prior and had already family buried at this cemetery.
