About Us
Northwest Community Church grew out of a Mennonite Brethren mission outreach which formed a German speaking country church in 1938. This church transitioned to English in 1951 under a pastor with a passion for evangelism, because of one family that did not speak German. Another Mennonite Brethren mission outreach formed another church in a nearby district in 1957 and the two merged in 1958. This merged congregation moved into the town of Meadow Lake in 1961 and became Meadow Lake Mennonite Brethren Church. There were two subsequent church builds and a name change in 1994 as the name was felt to discourage seekers.
We have an active membership of 46 people and an average Sunday morning attendance of 79 covering a wide range of ages. We have middle aged people, families with young children and toddlers; as well as a few teens and of course, there are some older, wiser people. Our congregation is comprised of retired people, farmers, health care and teaching professionals, labourers, and other fields.
We have a Sunday morning service at 10:50am, as well as Sunday School for all ages before the service at 9:30am and children’s church during the sermon. We have youth group and small groups every week, a fifty plus outreach once a month and hold a service at the Lodge every eight weeks. We are also one of the ownership churches in Bethel Gospel Camp, a summer camp located 40 miles north in Meadow Lake Provincial Park.
Northwest Community Church is a family church with a desire to be and make disciples.
