Mather Mennonite Church began services and formally organized in 1958 in Mather, Manitoba. The first building was occupied in 1958. The congregation originated through colonization from the Boissevain, Manitoba area.

The group was part of the Whitewater church group. The congregation rebuilt the old meetinghouse of the Crystal City Mennonite Church.

Minister Norman Friesen served in 1980 as a salaried congregational leader. In 1965 there were 91 members; in 1975, 89. The congregation dissolved in 1981. It had been affiliated with the Conference of Mennonites in Manitoba, Conference of Mennonites in Canada and the General Conference Mennonite Church. The language of worship was English.

After its dissolution in 1981 most members joined Trinity Mennonite Fellowship; a few went to Crystal City Mennonite Church.
