The Black Creek church was located four miles (6.5 km) west of Stevensville. Jacob Krehbiel served in 1880 as a congregational leader. The congregation dissolved in 1880. It had been affiliated with the Mennonite Conference of Ontario. The language of worship was English and German; the transition from German occurred in the 1860s.

The congregation began services about 1827. Jacob Krehbiel is considered the founding leader of the group. The congregation originated through immigration from the United States.

Black Creek was also known as the Log Church. Jacob Krehbiel withdrew from Mennonite Conference of Ontario and began a General Conference Mennonite church located in Stevensville.
