Administrative history
The Sherbrooke Mennonite Church was founded in 1968 in Vancouver, B.C. It was an outgrowth of the First Mennonite Church of Vancouver which had grown to the point of needing to divide due to size. A new meeting house was built in 1965. This congregation then became an independent congregation in 1968 with 175 charter members. It had a large German-language group in the first decade. In 1974 the meeting house was expanded. The membership in 1974 was 305. In 1994 the membership was 283; in 2000 it was 245; in 2002 it was 230. The leaders of the congregation were: Erwin Cornelsen (1968-1996), Jurgen Schonwetter (1977-1980), Henry Kliewer (1981-1992), Wally Nickel (1993), Rudy Froese (1994-1998), Garry Janzen (1999- ).
