Evangelical Mennonite Mission Conference

The Rudnerweider church adopted the Evangelical Mennonite Mission Conference identity on 1 July 1959.

The conference continues the Rudnerweider movement organized in 1937. Its archival description dates the Evangelical Mennonite Mission Conference to 1 July 1959.

The official repository preserves materials from the Rudnerweider period and the later conference, including mission work and congregational records. The chart places this line among the colony-based Mennonite histories. Its similar name should be distinguished from the Evangelical Mennonite Conference, which grew from Kleine Gemeinde.
