The Fort Garry Mennonite Brethren Church is, in a sense, a granddaughter church.
The years at FortRouge were preoccupied with finding a location on which to build a new church and recruiting a permanent pastor.
Vital MB Church and in 2003 the senior and associate pastors left Fort Garry with a sizeable group of members to establish the Faithworks MB Church in the River Heights area of the city.
FortRouge Methodist Church, the earliest founding church of Crescent FortRouge United, began as a mission congregation of Grace Methodist Church, which used to stand on the corner of Notre Dame and Portage in downtown Winnipeg.
In 1883, when the decision was made to found a congregation south of the Assiniboine River in the new FortRouge district, the area consisted only of scattered residences.
The Crescent property was sold in 1944 to the St. John Ambulance, and in 1943 the parsonage at 346 Stradbrook Avenue was sold and a new one purchased at 886 Dorchester Avenue.
