The Zion Mennonite Fellowship at Kippen, Ontario began services in 1963, and formally organized in 1966. The first building was occupied in 1963. The congregation originated through outreach by the Heidelberg Conservative Mennonite Church in 1963.

Zion left the Conservative Mennonite Church of Ontario in 1976 and joined the Mid-West Mennonite Fellowship because they desired more congregational autonomy and less rigid enforcement of regulations on dress, etc. The language of worship is English.

Minister Mervin Kuepfer was congregational leader in 2001.
