On 1 July 1961 a group of about 100 people met in the old town hall at Waldheim, Saskatchewan which they had recently purchased. They formed a congregation named "Grace Mennonite Mission Church." Two months later on 6 September they replaced the old town hall with a more functional building which they moved onto a new basement. At the 29 December 1961 annual meeting of the Zoar Waldheim Mennonite Church, 60 Zoar members withdrew from their congregation to join the new Grace Mennonite Mission Church. John A. Block served as pastor of the congregation. The Grace Mennonite Mission Church closed in 1992.
