Manitou Mennonite Brethren Church began services and formally organized in 1927. Anton Baerg was elected as the first leader. The congregation originated through immigration from the [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Soviet Union]]. At first the congregation met in a school. When the congregation outgrew the school, they met in an available machine shed during the summer and in the winter, divided into four groups and met in homes. In 1931, it was decided to build a church. Once a month, the congregation held a youth service. Another building was built in 1967. The church had a 50th anniversary celebration in 1977. Another building was purchased in 1983 and attached to the original building for Sunday School.

The congregation originated through emigration from the Soviet Union. At first the congregation met in Hazel School north of Manitou. When the congregation outgrew the school, they met in an available machine shed during the summer and in the winter, divided into four groups and met in homes. On 16 October 1931, it was decided to build a church. Once a month, the congregation held a youth service. The present sanctuary was built in 1967 and dedicated on 25 June 1967. The church had a 50th anniversary celebration in 1977. Another building was purchased in 1983 and attached to the original building for Sunday School.
