The Calkins ([[Montana (USA)|Montana]]) Mennonite Church ([[Mennonite Church (MC)|Mennonite Church]]) is now extinct. The first Mennonite families moved into this community in the fall of 1915 and were organized into a congregation 9 December 1917, at which time Frank Roth was ordained their minister by his father Jake Roth, [[Hochstetler, John G. (1896-1984)|John Hochstetler]] was ordained by I. S. Mast on 11 November 1921, to fill the vacancy left by Roth, who moved away. The congregation was under the Dakota-Montana Conference (now [[North Central Conference of the Mennonite Church (Mennonite Church USA)|North Central]]), I. S. Mast having bishop oversight. Services ceased in the fall of 1928, when nearly all of the families had moved away because of hard times.
