Administrative history
The Cedar Valley Mennonite Church was founded in 1940 in Mission, B.C. The congregation built its own meeting house that year on the property of its first leader, Abram Pankratz, on Ferndale Road. It was called the United Mennonite Church of Mission. There were 41 charter members in 1940, when they joined the Conference of United Mennonite Churches of British Columbia. They built a larger meeting house on Cedar Valley Road between 1951-1953. Eventually the name was changed to Cedar Vally Mennonite Church. In 1979 they built another even larger meeting house on Janzen Avenue. (See GAMEO for names of church leaders).
