Administrative history
Mennonites had settled on the Hague-Osler reserve in the 19th century. In 1895 the village of Neuanlage was settled on the reserve, mostly by Old Colony Mennonites. Many of these emigrated to Mexico in the 1920s. More immigrants from Russia settled in the area in the 1920s. These Russian immigrants began worshiping together in rented facilities. They joined the Rosenorter Gemeinde in 1926 but continued to worship in Neuanlage. They bought their own meeting house in 1937 and renovated the building for their purposes. Later they purchased a larger building and moved it to Neuanlage.
In June 1962, at the annual meeting of the Rosenort Mennonite Church of Saskatchewan, of which Neuanlage was a member church, the Rosenort Mennonite Church of Saskatchewan was dissolved, and the Neuanlage church became a self-governing body.
In 1978 they built a larger meeting house, which was further expanded in 1995.
The congregation left Mennonite Church Saskatchewan and Mennonite Church Canada in 2006.
