Brief History of the Church in Manitoba
In 1897, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints living in Souris, Manitoba, petitioned the president of the Canadian Mission to send missionaries to Manitoba. The missionaries proselyted new church members there, although many of the converts emigrated to Alberta.
In 1910 the Winnipeg Sunday School was organized with 37 members. Church membership in the district grew to 197 by 1930, including those in the Winnipeg and Bergland, Ontario branches.
The Canada Winnipeg Mission was created in 1976 with about 4,200 members in four districts, including Saskatchewan and western Ontario. The Winnipeg Manitoba Stake (similar to a diocese) was created in 1978.
Today, church members in Winnipeg come from all walks of life. Church members here share a rich heritage of community and public service. They are active in youth sports leagues, community events, the Boy Scouts and much more. They are teachers, dentists, construction workers, mothers, fathers and your neighbors.
