Administrative history
The Brandon Mennonite Mission began in 1954 when Ältester G. Neufeld of the Whitewater Gemeinde held a service in Brandon. During the next year this group was served by various ministers from the Whitewater Gemeinde. They met in rented facilities. In 1957 the Conference of Mennonites in Canada sent a couple to give leadership to this group, namely MaryAnn and Henry Isaac. In 1959 they completed their own meeting house and became an independent congregation. In 1971 an addition to the meeting house was completed. In 1983 the meeting house was expanded again.
There was a division in the congregation in 1993 over theological differences.
