Tarnma has a cemetery and previously had two Lutheran churches, all on Frederick Road. The Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church was dedicated in 1872. The congregation split and the Redeemer congregation met in houses until its own building was dedicated in 1911. The Immanuel congregation was dissolved in 1957 and the Redeemer congregation dissolved in 1965.[3] There was also a school until the 1940s.
