Langham Evangelical Bible Church, now in the town of Langham,
Saskatchewan, was formerly known as South Bruderthaler Evangelical
Mennonite Brethren Church. The congregation began services in 1911,
and formally organized in May 1925. Langham was affiliated with the
Langham Bruderthaler Church north of Langham until 1924 when that
church decided to adopt a different form of baptism and the South
Bruderthaler, unable to accept that, decided to form a separate
congregation. The first minister was Jacob R. Doerksen (died 1940).
You can still see the foundation outline of the old church.
The first building was occupied in 1912. On 3 August 1929, the
original building was destroyed by fire. The basement of a new
church was completed, but because of the depression the
superstructure could not be finished at that time. Until 1941 this
basement served as the place of worship. In 1956 the church was
moved from this site to Langham. The congregation was known as
Langham Evangelical Mennonite Brethren Church until 1977. The
language of worship is English; the transition from German occurred
in the 1950s.
