# Mennonite Church: MC North American development, eighteenth century ยท Overview The exhibit distinguishes Mennonite Church (MC) from General Conference Mennonite Church (GC). The older MC history belongs especially to Swiss and German congregations in North America, with migrations and settlement during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The label describes a historical church body, rather than every church called Mennonite. In 2002, its U.S. congregations and those of the General Conference formed Mennonite Church USA. Other fellowships and national histories continued along their own paths. - [Mennonite Church USA: historical overview](https://www.mennoniteusa.org/who-are-mennonites/history/) - [Mennonite Church USA: historical archives](https://www.mennoniteusa.org/historical-archives/) - [Supplied timeline photograph 9380](https://github.com/trueChristian/history.truechristian.church/blob/main/sources/church-history/photos/IMG_9380.jpg) --- Page: https://history.truechristian.church/en/traditions/mennonite-church/ [Contribute a correction or addition](https://github.com/trueChristian/history.truechristian.church/issues/new?title=Correction%3A+Mennonite+Church%3A+MC&body=%23%23+Page+or+topic%0AMennonite+Church%3A+MC%0A%0APage%3A+https%3A%2F%2Fhistory.truechristian.church%2Fen%2Ftraditions%2Fmennonite-church%2F%0A%0ARecord%3A+mennonite-church%0A%0ADate+currently+shown%3A+North+American+development%2C+eighteenth+century%0A%0A%23%23+Correction+or+addition%0A%0A%0A%0A%23%23+Sources+and+evidence%0APlease+include+book%2Fpage+references%2C+archive+links%2C+or+first-hand+documentation.%0A%0A%0A%0A%23%23+Image+credit+%28if+applicable%29%0ACreator%2C+source%2C+and+permission+or+public-domain+basis.%0A%0A%0A%0ASubmitted+for+review%3B+this+issue+does+not+publish+changes+automatically.)
