Milverton Southeast District Amish (Milverton, Ontario, Canada)
The Milverton Southeast District Amish began services in 1955. The group meets in homes. The congregation originated through division from Wellesley Amish Mennonite due to travel distance and increasing congregational size.
In 1965 there were 70 members; in 1975, 85. The congregation has been affiliated with the Old Order Amish. The language of worship is German.
The District is located east of the Poole to Millbank road. Bishop Menno Streicher served in 2001 as a non-salaried congregational leader.
