Our Saskatchewan History
Chapter 1
Pioneers began the church.
The story of Mennonite Brethren in Saskatchewan is far richer that most of us suspect. They’ve played a key role in the growth of our church across Canada. Of course, they had a significant role opening up the prairies, but they were also leaders on a number of fronts for the church. What few today realize is just how often Saskatchewan Mennonite Brethren played the role of starters for Mennonite Brethren elsewhere in Canada. They were the first to open a Bible school, the first to begin a radio ministry, the first to run a camping program, the first to begin a widespread home missions program, the first to embrace the shift to the use of English in their churches in the Canadian brotherhood. There is a remarkable history with important insights. They shared their wealth of leadership with the entire Mennonite Brethren fellowship.

Some seventy family and friends of Cassidy Grimm came to the camp to participate in the dedication of cabin 12, which had become known unofficially as Cassidy’s cabin.

An Interview with Erica Boschman, Associate Pastor of Care at River West Christian Church (Edmonton, AB)
Thank you! It is good to talk with you about this. Though I worry about being the “token” woman because that has been an experience I’ve had. But I also know that visibility leads to possibility. A lot of women with leadership skills don’t think they could potentially enter into pastoral ministry because they’ve never seen it modelled.
