The Clearbrook Mennonite Brethren Church was begun in 1936 to serve the needs of Mennonite Brethren settlers in the area. In the early' 40s the small congregation bought the present land the church is situated on for $1.00 from the municipality, and asked each member to pay a $5.00 levy to help finance the construction of a church building. In 1957 a larger sanctuary was built followed by some additions in later years.
From those early pioneer days, the church grew to a membership of over 700. In addition to helping in the formation of a church at Lake Errock, the Clearbrook M.B. Church had an active part in the beginning of the Bakerview M.B. Church, with a number of its members becoming founding members there. Mission work and humanitarian services have had strong support from the Clearbrook M.B. Church. Many of its members continue to be active as volunteers in the community. The Ladies Fellowships sew more than 2,000 blankets for the MCC each year. Other members are active in door to door evangelism.
Over the years, the Clearbrook M.B.
Church has changed with the community around it. Multistorey
condominiums for seniors surround the church. As a result, the church
has focussed on ministries to seniors. Its music and style of worship
appeal to the older generation. At the same time, younger families from
varying backgrounds preferring a more conservative style of worship
have also been attracted to the church. The German Choir and Chancel
Choir enhance the worship services. In addition, many talented
musicians use their gifts to glorify the Lord. The church is also known
for its strong, Bible based preaching.
