Administrative History

On 18–20 October 1879, 22 delegates from Mennonite Brethren churches in Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Dakota convened in the Henderson Mennonite Brethren Church to organize the first Mennonite Brethren Conference. Their goals were to promote spiritual fellowship among the churches, to define and establish a united position on points of doctrine and practice, and to unite themselves for more effective mission effort and other activities. The General Conference of the Mennonite Brethren Church of North America was incorporated under the state laws of Kansas in 1900; it adopted a constitution eight years later.

From 1879 to 1909, the Mennonite Brethren Church held a convention every fall, holding its meetings in one of its larger churches. Beginning with 1883, the minutes and reports were printed in the form of an annual yearbook. As its constituency spread across the continent, the convention was reduced to a triennial event, and the conference divided into district conferences, each of which would hold an annual convention, do its own home mission work, and regulate the affairs of its churches. Initially, the four districts were Central (Minnesota, Nebraska, North and South Dakota), Pacific (California, Oregon, and Washington), Southern (Colorado, Kansas, and Oklahoma), and Northern (i.e., Canada: Saskatchewan and Manitoba). Over time, other American states and Canadian provinces were added.

At the 1936 convention, a thorough revision of the constitution was accepted. Its new provisions covered all phases of conference work. The Committee of Reference and Counsel had the general oversight of the church and took care of its spiritual welfare; the Board of Trustees held in custody and managed the property and funds; the boards for foreign mission, city missions, publication, education, general welfare and public relations, Sunday school, and youth, executed the work entrusted to them. Restructuring has occurred throughout conference history, and boards and committees have come and gone under a variety of names. Nonetheless, the conference has kept several key ministries as their focus.

Missions is one such focus. Early efforts focused on India and Comanche Indians in southern Oklahoma, but extended much beyond. The Home Missions Committee and the Board of Foreign Missions took leadership in these matters. The Board of General Welfare and Public Relations coordinated relief work, the resettlement of Mennonite emigrants, and the deployment of Christian service workers. It worked closely with Mennonite Central Committee, and eventually was subsumed under Mennonite Brethren Missions and Services, formerly the Board of Foreign Missions.

Publishing was also important. In 1884, the conference published the Zionsbote as its church organ, followed by the Christian Leader in 1951. The Board of Christian Literature took responsibility for much of the publishing, initiating the publication of a variety of historical, Sunday school, and worship materials. Kindred Press became the official Mennonite Brethren publishing agency, with offices in both Hillsboro, KS, and Winnipeg, MB.

The need for a Mennonite Brethren school was expressed as early as 1883 and repeatedly mentioned in the following years. In 1898, a Conference Educational Committee was elected and a German Department School was opened in conjunction with McPherson College in McPherson, Kansas. In 1933, the conference assumed ownership of Tabor College, Hillsboro, Kansas. Seminary education began at Tabor (1944), but soon was moved to Fresno, California (1955), where the Mennonite Brethren Biblical Seminary was established.

The Board of Christian Education has also played an important role in the ministry of the conference. It has produced Sunday school literature, and has focused on training Sunday school teachers and lay leaders. Organizing youth events and conferences was also a priority.

In 1963, the General Conference of the Mennonite Brethren Church of North America changed its name to the General Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches.

As of 1969, telling and preserving the story of the conference has been the task of the Historical Commission, originally a branch of the Board of Christian Literature. The Commission was to coordinate the collection and publication of historical materials, and to initiate projects to raise the historical consciousness of the conference. It has also been responsible for coordinating the activities of the Center for Mennonite Brethren Studies in Winnipeg, Hillsboro, and Fresno. The Fresno center is the official repository of General Conference records.

A number of significant developments have taken place with respect to the Mennonite Brethren Church in North America since the middle of the 20th century. One of these was the merger with the Krimmer Mennonite Brethren Conference occurring in 1960. The Krimmer Mennonite Brethren membership at the time was 1,648. The merger brought six African–American congregations from North Carolina into the new Mennonite Brethren conference, as well as a significant number of members who had left Hutterite communities in South Dakota and other areas to join the Krimmer Mennonite Brethren.

With the rapid growth in membership of the Canadian Mennonite Brethren churches in the years after World War II, there followed an increasing trend toward a greater degree of independence on the part of the Canadian churches. By 1951, the membership of the Canadian District (called the Northern District until 1945) had already exceeded that of the other three districts combined (Pacific, Southern, and Central). At the General Conference sessions in Hillsboro, Kansas, in 1954, the issue of independence came to a head and the concept of “area conferences” emerged. Each area (United States and Canada) took on major responsibility in such matters as higher education, church schools, youth work, and home missions.

In 2003, the General Conference came to a formal end. At this point, its four remaining ministries—the Board of Faith and Life, Mennonite Brethren Missions and Services, Mennonite Brethren Biblical Seminary, and Resource Ministries—were divested to the United States and Canadian conferences. While the formal ownership structure has changed, the two conferences still work together in several areas of ministry, including missions, history, publishing, and higher education. Nationalism, regionalism, and the theological diversity of constituents all played a roll in the dissolution, but so too did a desire to bring Mennonite Brethren ministries closer to the people in the churches.

Custodial History

The first deposits of General Conference records probably were made in the 1970s, sometime after the Centre for MB Studies was organized in 1969. In 1979, Bill Schroeder worked at sorting and organizing some of the materials. It is not entirely clear when the rest of the materials came in, though small deposits have been recorded in recent years. For instance, a General Conference Audio Visual report, consisting of 80 photographic slides, one audio tape and 6pp of textual records, was deposited in 1998, accession #1998-043. Board of Trustees records (1978–1994) were deposited by Canadian Conference treasurer Jake Neufeld in 2000, accession #2000-048. Two files of Board of Christian Literature records were deposited by Helmut Huebert in 1996, accession #1996-050. Historical Commission records from 1984–1999 were deposited in 2003 by Abe Dueck, accession #2003-028. Three videos of the General Conference closing celebration were deposited by Herb Kopp in 2003, Accession #2003-015. Materials continued to be deposited on an irregular basis.

In 2023, Jon Isaak digitized the 2012–2023 Historical Commission annual reports and meeting minutes for preservation on the CMBS server--this is one aspect of the former "General Conference" that has continued as a bi-national ministry, owned jointly by the U.S. conference (USMB) and the Canadian conference (CCMBC). See Series VI below.
