Douglas Mennonite Church began services in 1978, and formally organized in 1980.

Douglas Mennonite Church began services in 1978, and formally organized in 1980. It began as a daughter congregation of Springfield Heights Mennonite Church. The seven men that drew up the plan for this congregation were born in Boissevain (2), East Prussia (1), Old Colony in Russia (2), Orenburg, USSR (1) and Germany (1). Some of them returned to Springfield Heights later on. One of its strengths was its strong group of lay ministers that worked with the pastor, and later became ministers elsewhere in Canada. Lay ministers included Erwin Strempler, Guenther Strempler, John Sawatzky, James Schellenberg and Jake Harms.

A new building was dedicated in 1995.
