Historical note
The MacGregor Bergthaler Mennonite Church was founded in
1950. Prior to 1950, the Mennonite families in the MacGregor area
worshipped together as one group, even though their backgrounds
included families from the Rudnerweider, Bergthaler, Kleinegemeinde and
Sommerfelder churches. The Bergthaler built their own meeting house in
1951. It wasn't until 1967 that this congregation became fully
affiliated with the Bergthaler Mennonite Church of Manitoba. Jacob
Loewen gave leadership to this congregation as well as the Gladstone
group during the 1950s. Other leaders were: David Wiebe (1960-1968,
1981), Abe J. Regier (1969-1978), Peter Froese (1979-1980), John
Zacharias (1982-1984), Glen Loewen (1985-1989), Victor Funk (1990,
1994-1996, 2001), Glenn Nickerson (1991-1993), David Ruby (1997-2000).
