Mill Woods Mennonite Brethren Church in Edmonton, Alberta began services in 1978, and formally organized in 1979. The first building was occupied in 1982, with a subsequent building program in 1994. Marvin Schmidt and Dwayne Barkman are considered the founding leaders of the group. The congregation originated through outreach by the Lendrum Mennonite Brethren Church.
The influx of people into Edmonton during the economic boom of the mid 1970s prompted Lendrum Mennonite Brethren to establish the daughter congregation, that was known as Mill Woods Mennonite Brethren Church. The name was changed in 1998 to Sunrise Community Church.
The congregation is located in the southeast section of the city.
