The Christian Fellowship Church began services in 1937. The first building was occupied in 1944, with a subsequent building program in 1960. William Heinrichs is considered the founding leader of the group. The congregation originated through colonization from Mennonite West Reserve in Manitoba.

The group was originally part of Bergthaler church group. It dropped the Bergthaler name in 1986. The church asked for release of membership from the Conference of Mennonites in Canada in 1976 because it did not agree with the program of the conference and had "doctrinal differences." The congregation had been affiliated with the Conference of Mennonites in Manitoba and Conference of Mennonites in Canada from 1937-1976. The language of worship is English. In 2010 the pastor was Colin Plett.
