The Port Colborne Reformed Mennonite congregation began services about 1825, and formally organized in 1833. The first building was occupied in 1825. The congregation originated through immigration from Pennsylvania. It was originally known as Humberstone church, but was later absorbed by Port Colborne.

Ministers who served the congregation prior to 1973 were John Stoner, Abram Stoner, Jonathan Kinsey, George Augustine, Wilson Near (bishop), Jonas Anthes, Wilmer Steele (bishop), Arthur Cusler, Lloyd Weaver (bishop), Paul C. Fehrman (bishop) and Wallace A. Bankert.

The meetinghouse is located on Killaly St. W., northeast corner of Knoll St. It was closed in 1973. It had been affiliated with the Reformed Mennonite Church since 1833. Remaining members now attend the Stevensville Reformed Mennonite meetinghouse.
