The Dundurn Mennonite church traces its' beginning to a Dundurn group that was one worshiping location of the Nordheimer Mennonite Gemeinde, a multi-congregation church founded by the Mennonite immigrants that came from Russia in the 1920s. The Nordheimer Mennonite Church was a member of the Conference of Mennonites in Saskatchewan and the Conference of Mennonite in Canada.The Dundurn group became the Dundurn Mennonite Church, an independent congregation in the conferences, when the Nordheimer Geminde was dissolved in 1976. The membership in 1976 was 63. It remained at around that number; in 2000 it was 68. With membership declining to about 15, the congregation held its last service on 20 June 2003. Most of the remaining members joined First Mennonite Church in Saskatoon and a couple joined Pleasant Point Mennonite Church in Clavet.
