Neukirchner Mennonite Church (Chinook, Alberta, Canada)
The Neukirchner Mennonite congregation at Chinook, AB 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.
The congregation dissolved in 1944. It had been affiliated with the Conference of Mennonites in Canada (1928-44). The language of worship was German.
The congregation dissolved due to loss of membership during the Depression. The groups from Chinook, Sedalia and New Brigden were united in one organization.
