Administrative history: Located 1.5 km east of Cassel on the 17th Line, East Zorra Township. The congregation has been affiliated with the Western Ontario Mennonite Conference (1964-1988), Mennonite Church (1964-), Mennonite Conference of Eastern Canada (1988-) and Mennonite Church Canada (1995-). The language of worship is English.
The congregation began services in 1935, and formally organized in 1964. The first building was occupied in 1935, with an additional building program in 1994. Bishop Daniel Iutzi is considered the founding leader of the group. The congregation was planted by the East Zorra Mennonite Church because of the latter congregation's increasing numbers. Cassel was part of East Zorra membership until 1964. Vernon Zehr was the first minister solely responsible at Cassel.
