Administrative history
The Cedar Valley Mennonite Church was founded in 1940 in Mission, B.C. The congregation built its own meeting house that year on the property of its first leader, Abram Pankratz, on Ferndale Road. It was called the Mission City United Mennonite Church. There were 41 charter members in 1940. They built a larger meeting house (1951-1953) on Cedar Valley Road. It was then called the United Mennonite Church, Mission. In 1955 the membership was 116. In 1979 they built another even larger meeting house on Janzen Avenue and the name changed again to the Cedar Valley Mennonite Church. The membership was 247 in 1979. In 2000 the membership was 217.
