History

The congregation began services in 1946. The first building was occupied in 1947, with a subsequent building program in 1973. Jacob Loewen is considered the founding leader of the group. The church was an effort by the community and the Home Missions Committee of the Conference of Mennonites in Canada to meet the needs of mostly Sommerfelder settlers who had come to the area from Saskatchewan during the 1930s. The congregation affiliated with the Conference of Mennonites in Manitoba, the Conference of Mennonites in Canada and the General Conference Mennonite Church. In 1994 the congregation withdrew from all the Mennonite conferences due to doctrinal differences. About the same time, it changed its name to Gladstone Christian Fellowship Church.
