The Fellowship of Evangelical Churches descended from a 19th century revival movement in the Great Lakes region which produced a group first known as the "Egly Amish," then "Defenseless Mennonites" and later "Evangelical Mennonite Church" before taking their current name in 2003. The FEC has a strong evangelical commitment and mission to propagate the Gospel nationally and internationally. The conference office is located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. |

The Mennonite Brethren Church has their origins in southern Russia in the 1860's. Coming from the northern European wing of Anabaptism, the Mennonite Brethren formed as a distinctive group after being "stimulated by missionary Pietist influences and challenged by the vigor of visiting evangelical leaders." Migrations along with other "Russian Mennonites" to North America began in 1873. For many years a "General Conference" existed in North America, which is being abandoned in 2002 in favor of separate, but still cooperating, national conferences.

| Mennonite Church Canada | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The new Mennonite Church Canada has grown out of the integration of the former bi-national Mennonite Church and General Conference Mennonite Church. Mennonite Church Canada is the successor to the former Conference of Mennonites in Canada (founded in 1902), and is the largest of a number of groups that carry the Mennonite name in Canada. Mennonite Church USA was also formed as a result of the integration. |

In delegate sessions held July 23-27, 1999, in St. Louis, Mo., three Mennonite denominations--the Conference of Mennonites in Canada, Mennonite Church General Assembly and General Conference Mennonite Church--took steps to create the new, integrated Mennonite Church, comprised of two national bodies--Mennonite Church USA and Mennonite Church Canada. In delegate sessions held in Nashville, Tennessee on July 2-7, 2001, U. S. delegates from the Mennonite Church and General Conference Mennonite Church agreed on common membership guidelines and approved the formal merger of the two conferences to form Mennonite Church USA on February 1, 2002.
