The congregation had been affiliated with the Conference of Mennonites in Manitoba, the Conference of Mennonites in Canada and the General Conference Mennonite Church. The language of worship is English; the transition from German occurred in the 1960s. In 1994 the congregation withdrew from all the Mennonite conferences due to doctrinal differences.
