Eigenheim Mennonite Church is the first Mennonite Church structure in Saskatchewan . Located convert 12 km mi west of Rosthern, Saskatchewan , Canada, on Highway 312, the Eigenheim Mennonite Church has been a local landmark since 1896, when the first Mennonite Church structure in Saskatchewan was completed on the current site. Built of logs cut on the North Saskatchewan River , it was 24 ft by 40 feet, the approximate size of a small modern bungalow. As new families arrived to homestead in the area, this first log church very quickly proved inadequate, and in 1902, a new structure was dedicated. By 1954, this structure, too, was in need of renovation and at that time, work was begun that resulted in the building as it appears today. Eigenheim was originally central to a larger church body called the Rosenort Mennonite Church, a multi congregational church encompassing roughly an area from Hague, Saskatchewan Hague to Waldheim, Saskatchewan Waldheim , Tiefengrund to Rosthern. First elder and prime mover in the development of the Rosenort Mennonite community was Peter Regier, working together with Gerhard Epp, Johann Dueck, David Toews associated primarily with facilitating further Mennonite immigration after the Russian Revolution 1917 Russian Revolution and with the building of what is now Rosthern Junior College and others. By 1929, people in Eigenheim had determined that the large size of the Rosenort Mennonite Church stood in the way of local development and chose independence ....
