Administrative History
The Mennonite Church of Lacombe began services about 1928, and formally
organized in 1941. The congregation originated through immigration from
the Soviet Union. Abraham Epp was minister from 1941 to 1944, the only
ordained person which served this congregation during its history. The
group dissolved due to internal strife and decline in membership, as
those farmers who only rented their land left the area for more suitable
communities. The congregation dissolved in 1945. It had been affiliated
with the Mennonite Church Canada (1942-1945).
Custodial History
The records were transferred to the Mennonite Church Alberta.
