After World War II, a number of newly arrived Mennonite families from Prussia settled in Agassiz. They found it difficult to participate actively in churches south of the Fraser River, and established their own congregation on 13 December 1953. When the Agassiz-Rosedale bridge was completed in 1956, the congregation was dissolved and most of its members joined the East Chilliwack (now Eden) Mennonite Church.
