In 1975 there were 59 members; in 1985, 85; in 1995, 156; in 2000, 170.

The language of worship is English.

The congregation began services in 1966, and formally organized in 1967. The first building was occupied in 1985. Lawrence Klippenstein is considered the founding leader of the group. The congregation originated through outreach by the Home St. Bergthaler Mennonite Church, and through persons moving to live in the Fort Garry area.
