Historical note
In the early 1950s there was a large influx of Mennonite
immigrants to the Essex County area, both from Russia and other parts
of European and Asian Soviet Union, and South America. The meeting
house in Leamington was not able to accommodate the increased number of
worshippers. So in 1954 another meeting house was built north of
Leamington close to the high school. This meeting house was expanded
with the addition of an educational wing in 1961. The people meeting
here were still members of the Leamington United Mennonite Church until
1980 when it became an independent congregation. The membership was 485
in 1981 and 506 in 2000. The leaders of the congregation were:
Cornelius Driedger (1980-1988), Victor Kliewer (1989-2000), Bruce Wiebe
(2000- ).
