This church and cemetery in the Municipality of Bifrost-Riverton were established in the early 1950s when an Evangelical Mennonite Conference congregation moved to the Washow Bay district. The first pastor was Peter P. Friesen from Blumenort who served from 1952 to 1954. The earliest burial was of seven-year-old Leonard Harms who died on 6 March 1957.
