The Burns Church of God in Christ, Mennonite Church, located in Burns, Marion County, Kansas, was organized in 1938. Worship services were conducted in several places in the community until a church building was purchased. Ernest F. Wiggers was the preacher in charge in 1953. Allan Schmidt was ordained as deacon in 1945. The church membership was 161, and the Sunday-school enrollment 204 in 1953. The sewing circle was active in supporting missions, hospitals, and relief work.

The congregation sold its meetinghouse in the town of Burns in the early 1950s, and built a new meetinghouse three miles (five km) south of the town, at which time it changed its name to Eden Mennonite Church.
