A Brief History of

South Langley Mennonite Brethren Church

 In 1948 a small group of young people from East Aldergrove decided to hold Sunday School classes in the Brookswood area. Using the Brookswood Community Hall they held classes every Sunday afternoon. The classes were well received, the children came and attendance grew.

 In 1958 the East Aldergrove MB Church youth group started a fund to raise money for a permanent Brookswood Church building.

They purchased an acre of land on 36th Avenue in 1959 and services began officially on November 22, 1964 with 17 charter members.

After many happy years in this building the congregation moved, in 1977, to it's current location on 22nd Avenue in Fernridge.

The building served the church family well until 2008 when discussions began on the growing needs of the congregation & the aging building. It was decided that major renovations needed to be done to the worship centre & administration wing. Phase I was completed in early 2011 and Phase II was started shortly after that and is continuing at this time.

We are excited for what God has in store for us.

We are grateful to God for His faithfulness.

"We always thank God for all of you... We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labour prompted by love, your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ."     1 Thessalonians 1:2-3

 

We seek to be a caring community where you can find hope and purpose.
