The Avon Mennonite congregation began services and formally organized in 1952. The first building was occupied in 1952, with a subsequent building program in 1994. The congregation originated through outreach efforts by Floyd Baechler and Alvin Lebold. In October 1994 the congregation moved from 478 Brunswick Street to become part of the Mennonite-owned senior citizen complex on Greenwood Drive.

Minister Herb Sawatzky served in 2009 as a  congregational leader. In 1965 there were 18 members; in 1975, 31; in 1985, 44; in 1995, 69; in 2000, 92. The congregation has been affiliated with the Western Ontario Mennonite Conference (1952-1988), the Mennonite Church (1952-1999), Mennonite Church Eastern Canada (1988-) and the Conference of Mennonites in Canada/Mennonite Church Canada (1995-). The language of worship is English.
