Who We Are
Blumenort Mennonite Church was founded in 1925. The Blumenorter Mennonite Congregations meeting in Reinland, Blumenort, and Rosenort (Now Rosetown), and Gnadenthal decided to gather in one common location for Sunday morning worship services, and the original Church building in Rosetown was built in 1957
