Grace Church (Cranberry Portage, Manitoba, Canada)Grace Church (formerly Grace Church of the Mennonite Brethren) began services in 1978, and formally organized in 1982. Gary Sawatzky is considered the founding leader of the group. The congregation originated through colonization of northern Manitoba and outreach by the Mennonite Brethren Church of Manitoba. This congregation actually began in the 1930s as a Presbyterian church but decided to switch denominational affiliation in the late 1970s.
