Maple Ridge Community Church (Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada)
Maple Ridge Community Church in Maple Ridge, British Columbia began services in 1984, and formally organized in 1985, the year it joined the British Columbia Conference of Mennonite Brethren (MB) Churches. Ed Goerzen and a steering committee are considered the founding leaders of the group. The congregation originated through outreach by the British Columbia MB Conference's Board of Church Extension. The congregation was established out of the desire of several families for a church in their own community.
In 2016 the congregation helped plant a new church in Maple Ridge -- Jubilee.
