The Beausejour Church of God in Christ, Mennonite congregation located four miles north of Beausejour, Manitoba, Canada had its roots in two families who moved to the area from Lebanon, Pennsylvania in 1965. Several years later the families were baptized into the Greenland congregation to which they traveled for worship and communion.

In 1974 five more families moved to the area from Greenland and Whitemouth. The congregation was organized on 29 June 1974. The congregation met for two years in the basement of the Melvin Kurtz family, but in 1976 erected a bungalow-style building on five acres donated by Melvin Kurtz. The first service in the new building was held on 18 July 1976. The building also served as the Willow Grove School; Edgar Wohlgemuth was the first teacher.
