Hepburn Mennonite Brethren Church held its first Sunday morning service on 21 August 1910 and formally organized on 23 October of the same year. The first sanctuary was dedicated on 9 October 1910, with subsequent building programs in 1917 and 1967. Peter J. Friesen is considered the founding leader of the group. The congregation originated through immigration from Nebraska. There were 78 charter members in 1910.
The church housed Bethany Bible Institute when it was first founded in 1927. A church building was erected in 1910 and enlarged in 1917. A new church was built in 1966. The Hepburn MB Church frequently obtained ministerial help from Bethany Bible School teachers.
Hepburn MB Church grew to be the largest MB congregation in Saskatchewan and held that distinction for many years.
