Fairholme, SK. The congregation was affiliated with the Evangelical Mennonite Brethren Conference (1935-1962).

The congregation began services in 1927, and formally organized in 1935. The first building was occupied in 1936. It was a squared log building; in later years it was covered with siding. John H. Klassen is considered the founding leader of the group. The congregation originated through colonization from Manitoba and outreach by Bruderthaler ministers.

The congregation closed in 1961 or 1962 as the economy in the area declined. There was good cooperation with the local Mennonite Brethren congregation before it closed in 1948.
