View source for Nordheimer Mennonite Church (Elbow, Saskatchewan, Canada)

The Nordheimer Mennonite congregation in Elbow, SK began services in 1927. The first building was occupied in 1953. [[Klassen, Johann J. (1872-1942)|Johann J. Klassen]] is considered the founding leader of the group. The congregation originated through immigration from the [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Soviet Union]].

The congregation was part of the [[Nordheim Mennonite Church Group (Saskatchewan, Canada)|Nordheimer group]]. It never had its own minister but was served by ministers from the Hanley-Dundurn district.

The Elbow group occasionally held services together with the Mennonite Brethren in the area. They purchased a school building for worship together with the MBs. Membership dwindled as people passed away and moved away and when the building was badly damaged by lightening in 1968, the decision was made to close the church. The remaining members joined the [[Hanley Mennonite Church (Hanley, Saskatchewan, Canada)|Hanley]] church.

The congregation had been affiliated with the Conference of Mennonites in Canada (1925-68) and [[General Conference Mennonite Church (GCM)|General Conference Mennonite Church]] (1926-68).
