Western Conservative Mennonite Fellowship
The Western Conservative Mennonite Fellowship was first listed in the Mennonite Yearbook of 1978. It was a group of nine congregations of like faith and practice who chose to be recognized as a fellowship for the purpose of identity and to have a larger base for counseling, fellowship, and mission outreach. In 2001 the fellowship consisted of ten congregations in Alberta, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Colorado with a total membership of 525. The ministerial body numbered 5 bishops, 11 ministers, and 8 deacons.
The fellowship also sponsored a mission in Belize; two churches have been organized there with a membership of 50, in addition to a small school.
