Reformed Mennonites

A distinct North American Mennonite fellowship led by John Herr from 1812.

The photographed chart marks the Reformed Mennonite Church as a separate line beginning in 1812. John Herr’s followers sought stricter fidelity to their understanding of the church and Christian discipline.

Reformed Mennonite is a particular historical name. It should be distinguished from the later Old Order conferences and from Reformed Protestant churches. The chart follows this community beside the older Mennonite Church, providing a starting point for exploring its distinctive history.
