Conference in Chilliwack, Meetings in Chilliwack, Ministry in Chilliwack, Teacher in Chilliwack

The first settlers of Yarrow arrived in February 1928 and began meeting in the homes of Mennonite Brethren and Mennonite Church families. Church leaders were elected by congregational vote. The school closed in 1969. However, which by 1960 had an enrollment of 114 students in grades six to twelve, by 1951 the Yarrow MB church opened Sharon Mennonite Collegiate, along with a staff of seven teachers. Owing to the collapse of the raspberry market, this school was closed in 1949.
