Historical note

The Springstein Mennonite Church traces its beginning to the coming of Russian Mennonite immigrants settling in the Springstein, Oak Bluff and surrounding areas in the 1920s. Initially these immigrants met to worship in private homes (mostly in the big house on the communal farm), and then in the local school (1927). Families from two Mennonite traditions (kirchliche  and Mennonite Brethren) met together into the 1930s when they each founded their own church. The Springstein Mennonite Church was formally founded in on 17 October 1938, and was independent from that time. That year they also completed a meeting place. Most of the members had previously been  part of the Schönwieser Mennonite Church (Gemeinde). Rev. William Enns, Rev. Isaak Penner and Rev. David D. Klassen were early ministers. Rev. Enns was ordained as bishop (Aeltester) in 1941. Members of the congregation were a large part of the society which in 1948 bought the property that established the  Assiniboine Mennonite Mission Camp in 1949 near Headingly (later known as Assiniboine Camp). Springstein is listed as a part of the groug that founded the Conference of Mennonites in Manitoba and a congregation that strongly supported Canadian Mennonite Bible College when the Conference of Mennonites in Canada established it in 1947.  The leaders of the congregation were: Wilhelm Enns (1930-1940, 1941-1965), Rudy Goerzen (1948-1966), Gerhard Peters (1966-1971), Henry Neufeld (1971-1973), Ervin Siemens (1973-1974), Bruno Epp (1974-1977), Ernest Wiebe (1977-1981), Albert Durksen (1981-1989), Ernie Hildebrand (1990-1993), Elizabeth and Don Plett (1994-1999), Kathy Giesbrecht (1998-2005), Al Rempel (2001), Erwin Kroeker (2002-2007), Steve Plenert (2005-2009), Melissa Miller (2007-2016), Randy Hildebrand (2017 - ).
