The Nordheim Mennonite Church group in Saskatchewan, located about 30 miles (50 km) south of Saskatoon, was one of the first churches to be organized after the immigration of Russian Mennonites in 1923. It began in 1925 under the leadership of Elder Johann J. Klassen, an immigrant from Russia. This congregation had four meeting places (churches): in the village of Dundurn; the Pleasant Point Church, 50 miles (80 km) northeast of Dundurn; the Hanley Church, 10 miles (16 km) west of Hanley; and the fourth, 11 miles (18 km) east of Elbow. The latter meetinghouse was owned jointly by the Mennonite Brethren and the General Conference Mennonites. This cluster of congregations belonged to the Conference of Mennonites in Canada. It had 285 baptized members in 1956, with G. J. Warkentin as minister in charge.
