The origin of the Burrton Mennonite Church has been traced to the late 1800's when Mennonites already living in the area began buying farm land around Burrton.  Services were held in private homes for many years, until the Church was organized.  The original building was located on South Colorado street.  Groundbreaking for the current building was held April 13, 1958.
