The McClusky Mennonite Brethren Church in McClusky, North Dakota, a member of the Mennonite Brethren Central District Conference, was organized in 1903 by Ludwig Seibel, who became the first pastor and served this congregation for 27 years. A small church was built in 1914 and later enlarged. Other ministers who served for brief periods were John Siemens, Peter Wiens, David Fast, Herman D. Wiebe, LaVern Loewens, and G. W. Schroeder. Gothilf Winter, an ordained deacon, was the leader of the congregation at intermittent periods.

Ernest T. Schafer served as pastor from 1953 to 1955, followed by Alvin Ysker, who was serving in 1956, with a membership of 22.
