Administrative history

A worshiping group was officially organized in Carman as a Bergthaler group in 1945. Until 1953 the group was viewed as a mission station of the Conference of Mennonites in Canada with leadership provided by the Berghtaler Church of Manitoba. In 1954 it became a congregation identified as the Graysville-Carman congregation. In 1962 the Carman part of this congregation was called the Caman Bergthaler Mennonite Church. Sometime after the Bergthaler Church of Manitoba decentralized and dissolved the corporation, the name was changed to Carman Mennonite Church.
