Springridge Mennonite Church is a place where people get together to worship God, by singing, praying, reading the Bible and encouraging each other. The congregation provides a caring, supportive community that promotes peace and obedience to Jesus Christ. Springridge is a small yet inclusive church community which includes people of both Mennonite and non-Mennonite culture. Our church is an active member of Mennonite Church Alberta and Mennonite Church Canada. We are also active in various social and church organizations in Pincher Creek.

HISTORY
History - 50 yrs by Henry Koop 1978
Chronicles by Peter Janzen 2004
Springridge was a school district which became the central meeting place for Mennonite immigrants from the Soviet Union who lived in that district as well as Standoff, Fort Macleod, Glenwood and Cowley areas. On July 20, 1928 the group organized under the name of Blumenthaler Mennonite Church. This was later changed to The Springridge Mennonite Church. An old hotel in Fort Macleod was bought for $300.00. During the winter of 1934 it was broken down and the lumber was then hauled to Springridge for the building of a church. The building was completed on the 20th of July.
