In 1999 the congregation's membership in the Mennonite Brethren Conference was revoked because Calgary Inter-Mennonite had joined the Supportive Congregations Network in 1997. In 2000 Calgary Inter-Mennonite withdrew from the Conference of Mennonites in Alberta in order to avoid division within the conference. The Supporting Congregations Network consists of Mennonite, General Conference Mennonite and Church of the Brethren congregations which welcome gay, lesbian and bisexual members.
