Chilliwack Fellowship Church began services in 1956, and formally organized in 1957. Lloyd Pankratz is considered the founding leader of the group. The congregation originated through outreach by the Abbotsford Evangelical Mennonite Brethren Church and was affiliated with the Evangelical Mennonite Brethren Conference. The congregation's building was located on Maple Avenue, and the language of worship was English.

The congregation dissolved in 1969 or 1970 (it was last listed in the conference yearbook in 1969) and the church building was converted into a house.
