A dedication service for the church's first building was held on 12 June 1910. Cornelius C. Ens is considered the founding leader of the group. The congregation originated through colonization from rural Manitoba.  During the first decade or so the congregation was served by various non-resident ministers of the Rosenorter Gemeinde. Jacob Nickel immigrated to Aberdeen in 1924 and remained their leader until 1937. During this time he also taught in the Bible School in Rosthern. The meeting house was moved onto a basement at the same site in 1939. The building was renovated in 1950 and again in 1964 and 1989.
