| − | Home Street Mennonite Church began out of a decision by the central authority (<em>Lehrdiendst</em>) of the [[Bergthal Mennonites|Bergthaler Mennonite Church]] of Manitoba to found a congregation in the city of Winnipeg in 1957. The congregation was first called the Winnipeg Bergthler Mennonite Church. This group met in rented facilities in North Kildonan for the first year. In 1958 they purchased their own meeting house at the corner of Simcoe and St. Matthews. By 1962 they needed larger facilities and purchased another meeting house at the corner of Ross and Sherbrook. In 1966, partially to alleviate space problems, another group was started, known as the Fort Garry Fellowship. The congregation continued to grow and in 1973 purchased the former Home Street United Church and changed their name to Home Street Mennonite Church.
