Administrative history
he Carrot River area of Saskatchewan was settled by Russian Mennonite immigrants in the 1920s. The church was established in 1929 as one of the five local worshiping locations of the Hoffnungfelder Gemeinde which included Rabbit Lake, Glenbush, Petaigan and Mayfair.They were received as a member of the Conference of Mennonites in Canada in 1934. In 1931 there were 52 members. The congregation grew steadily until 1959 when the membership reached 107. In 1960 they decided to leave the Hoffnungsfelder Gemeinde and become an independent congregation, named Grace Mennonite Church. Then in 1962 they changed their name again to Carrot River Mennonite Church
