The Glen Allan Mennonite Church was located on Main Street in Glen Allan. Interim pastor Winston Martin served in 1999 as a congregational leader. The congregation had been affiliated with the Mennonite Conference of Ontario and Quebec (1963-1988), the Mennonite Church (1963-1999), the Mennonite Conference of Eastern Canada (1988-1999) and the Conference of Mennonites in Canada (1995-1999).
The congregation began services in 1944, and formally organized in 1949. The first building was occupied in 1944, with a subsequent building program in 1953. Amos Brubacher is considered the founding leader of the group. The congregation originated through colonization from Waterloo County.
The congregation held its last service in August 1999. The building was sold to the New Covenant Mennonite Fellowship, an independent Mennonite congregation. A closing celebration service was held 12 September 1999. Funds garnered from the sale were used to support missionaries who had been sponsored by the congregation.
