Neukirchner Mennonite Church (Chinook, Alberta, Canada)
The Neukirchner Mennonite Church at Chinook, Alberta began services about 1926, and formally organized in 1928. Wilhelm Martens is considered the founding leader of the group. The congregation originated through immigration from the Soviet Union. It had been affiliated with the Conference of Mennonites in Canada (1928-1944) although there were also Mennonite Brethren and Allianz families in the congregation. The language of worship was German. The congregation dissolved in 1944 due to the loss of membership during the Depression. The groups from Chinook, Sedalia and New Brigden were united in one organization.
