The Lehman Preaching appointment began services in 1854. Jacob Lehman is considered the founding leader of the group; he immigrated to Ellice Township from the Alsace in 1840 and settled at Kurtzville. The congregation originated through migration to the area and immigration from Europe.
Initially services were held at three month intervals until 1865 when they were held every eight weeks. Later services alternated with Wallace Mennonite at Kurtzville. Communion was served from the earliest date until the membership decreased. The community consisted of Jacob Lehman's family and in-laws by the name of Weber and Shellenberger. Jacob Lehman and his wife, a Showalter, are buried at the Martin's Church cemetery in Waterloo, Ontario.
The congregation dissolved in 1880. It had been affiliated with the Mennonite Conference of Ontario since 1854. The language of worship was German.
