Faith Harvest Church
Est. 1907
Immigrant Mennonite farmers started establishing
homesteads in “No Man’s Land” in 1903.
They were members of a religious movement that began during the Protestant
Reformation with an emphasis on adult commitment to a life modeled after the
life of Jesus. The Mennonites derived
their name from a Dutch Leader, Menno Simons.
The Church was organized as Friedensfeld Mennonite
Church in 1907. Charter family names
included Dirks, Boese, Epp, Fransen, Goertzen, Ratslaff, and Zielke. The first church building was consecrated in
1909. A second church building was
purchased and moved to the present site in 1940. The current church building was designed and
built by the members in 1966. Today’s
rural church stands by the grace of God and the determination of a committed
community.
“I know your
works, your toil and your patient endurance…” Rev 2:2 (text used in 1907)
