Administrative history
Dunnville United Mennonite Church in Dunnville, Ontario began services in 1947, and formally organized in 1949. The first building was occupied in 1952. The original families were Mennonite families that came from Leamington, Reesor, Vineland and the Niagara region. The decline in membership after 1950 was due to young people moving away to find jobs. The congregation closed its doors in 1999 due to this decline.
