Church of God
The Church of God in Erwood has been operating since the 1920s. The services were originally conducted in Russian, due to the large number of Belarusian farmers in the area.[2] Today, the services take place on Sunday mornings in English. The church also supports a summer camp at Greenwater Lake Provincial Park.[3]
