The First Mennonite Church was founded in 1947 in Calgary, Alberta. It had begun as a mission outreach of the conference in 1944. They began meeting in rented facilities and purchased their own meeting house in 1945. There were 28 charter members in 1947. In 1948 a girl's home was established in the home of the pastor, which continued to operate until 1955. Also in 1955 the congregation became independent. In 1957 they built a new meeting house and it was expanded in 1966.
