The Oak Lake congregation began services in 1928, and formally organized in 1929. The congregation met in rented facilities until 1949 when they built their own meeting house. In 1990 they built a new meeting house in the town site. P.C. Penner is considered the founding leader of the group. The congregation originated through immigration from the Soviet Union.
The congregation was formerly part of the Schoenwiese church group; it became independent of Schoenwieser in 1978.
In 1975 there were 71 members; in 1985, 70; in 1995, 59; in 2000, 43. The congregation has been affiliated with Mennonite Church Manitoba, Conference of Mennonites in Canada / Mennonite Church Canada and General Conference Mennonite Church (until 1999). The language of worship is English; the transition from German occurred in the 1960s.
The leaders of the congregation have included Peter Penner (1929-1945), Jacob Enns (1956-1963), and Jacob Sawatzky (1956- ).
