Gladstone, MB. (204) 385-2915. In 1965 there were 30 members; in 1975, 49; in 1985, 119; in 1993, 119. The congregation had been affiliated with the Conference of Mennonites in Manitoba, the Conference of Mennonites in Canada and the General Conference Mennonite Church. The language of worship is English; the transition from German occurred in the 1960s. In 1994 the congregation withdrew from all the Mennonite conferences due to doctrinal differences.

The congregation began services in 1946. The first building was occupied in 1947, with a subsequent building program in 1973. Jacob Loewen is considered the founding leader of the group. The congregation originated through colonization from Saskatchewan.
