Looking Back, Looking Up and Moving Forward
Looking Back
South Langley Church began as an outreach to children from East Aldergrove Mennonite Brethren Church (now Ross Road Community Church). In 1959, this group of young people purchased an acre of land in Brookswood, and in 1964 they began holding church services with 17 charter members.
​​
We still reach out to children and families in Brookswood and in our local neighborhoods.
​
We remain affiliated with the British Columbia Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches. You can read our Confession of Faith here: www.mennonitebrethren.ca/summary-of-the-confession-of-faith/
