Administrative history: Community Mennonite Church of Stouffville, Stouffville, Ontario, Canada, began in 1996 as an outreach from the Hagerman Mennonite Church. In 1995 a significant number of members at Hagerman developed a vision to start a new church in the town of Stouffville, and about half the congregation helped to form the new congregation--about 30 adults and 25 children. Hagerman's pastor, Gord Alton, agreed to serve both congregations during a transition period that lasted four years. He continued as Community Mennonite's pastor for an additional six years.

In 2015 there were 75 members at Community Mennonite. The group has been affiliated with Mennonite Church Eastern Canada (1996-) and Mennonite Church Canada.
