Herbert Mennonite Church (Herbert, Saskatchewan, Canada)Herbert Mennonite Church began services and formally organized in 1905. The first building was occupied in 1908. Over the following twenty years or so the difficulties of travel and scattered residences required other meeting places to be set up, and eleven others were so formed. In 1968 a larger meeting house was completed. Frank Sawatzky is considered the founding leader of the group. The congregation originated through colonization from Manitoba and the United States. In December 1992 after some years of difficulty, the congregation withdrew from all conference affiliations because of doctrinal differences.
