Village Chapel Evangelical Mennonite Brethren Mission, unorganized in the late 1950s, was opened in Orange Cove, California, with 16 Sunday-school pupils on 22 July 1945. The city then had a population of 2,500. As the  population increased to 5,000, attendance increased to 98. Gerhardt T. Thiessen served two years as pastor. In 1949 the population of the town began to decline, and the attendance at the mission with it. In all about 150 professed conversion, but because of constant migration only five were baptized. Leonard Wiebe was the pastor in 1955.
