History

• Due to its small size, the church proved inadequate for the growing congregation, and a new structure was dedicated in 1902.
• The church underwent renovations in 1954, resulting in a new building that served the congregation until 2010.
• The original structure was donated to the Mennonite Youth Farm close to Rosthern in 2010, and a new church was built on the original site.

The Eigenheim Mennonite Church has always been part of a larger church body called the Rosenort Mennonite Church, which encompassed an area from Hague to Waldheim.
