The Evangelical Mennonite Mission Conference was formed on July 1, 1959 from the Rudnerweider Mennonite Church, which had been organized in 1937 as a result of division from the Sommerfeld Mennonite church over its desire for renewal. The Rudnerweider Mennonite Church was led by four ministers, William H. Falk (1892-1976), Peter S. Zacharias (1893-1957), Gerhard J. Froese (1901-1947), and Isaac A. Hoeppner (1884-1955). These four had been inspired by the revival meetings held by Isaac P. Friesen in Reinfeld, Manitoba in 1934.
In total 1100 adult members left the Sommerfeld Mennonite church to become a part of the Rudnerweider Mennonite Church. William Falk was elected as Bishop on January 8, 1937. Between February and May of 1937 seven ministers were elected. They included: Cornelius G. Stoesz from Rudnerweide, Peter D. Berg from Schoenthal, Jacob H. Friesen from Neubergthal, Isaac P. F. Friesen from Rosenbach, Isaac J. Fehr from Waldheim, Jacob E. Nickel from Reinland, and Jacob P. Bergen from Kronsweide.
The church spread to western Manitoba, to the Interlake region of Manitoba, to Saskatchewan, Ontario, Texas, Belize, Bolivia, and Mexico.
A shift to more decentralized leadership and more local congregational autonomy led to the formation of the Evangelical Mennonite Mission Conference (EMMC) in 1959 with annual conventions and various boards which would continue to tie the various local congregations together. This was led by the new bishop J.H. Friesen who was ordained in 1955.
The church / conference kept its members informed through publications such as the Jugendtag, Der Leitstern, and the EMMC Recorder. The church also supported schools in Manitoba such as Mennonite Collegiate Institute (MCI) in Gretna, Elim Bible School in Altona and Steinbach Bible Institute (SBI). The Aylmer Bible School in Ontario was established in 1976 by the church. In 1957 a radio ministry was begun and later the conference also ran a summer daily vacation Bible School (DVBS) for its youth. Missions to Northern Manitoba and Latin America were undertaken by the conference in addition to sending its people to serve under other Mennonite agencies.
The Rudnerweider church was concerned with the secular influence of radio broadcasts and therefore was an early supporter of Radio CFAM which was founded in Altona, Manitoba in 1957. It was seen as an alternative radio station that promoted wholesome values. The radio station offered air time to the church. I.P.F. Friesen, Edwin Klippenstein, and G.H. Penner served as the radio committee and on March 1957, the High German program Die Evangelishe Botshaft was aired with Bishop Wilhelm H. Falk as speaker. In 2008 the program was still on the air in the Low German language.
In 1990 the adult church membership was 3,470 in 24 independent congregations and nine mission stations. The denominational offices are in Winnipeg.
The conference pastors that have given leadership were Henry Dueck (1986-), Jack Heppner and Allen Kehler.
This fonds contain minutes, reports and correspondence pertaining to the activities of the conference leaders and mission workers. There are also early membership records. The materials have been described and arranged into 13 series as follows:

The material has come to the Centre through individuals and the EMMC church office. The church registers were in the hands of Peter S. Zacharias who made entries until the mid 1950s. They were deposited to the Mennonite Heritage Centre on January 3, 1980 likely by Frank Zacharias, who was at the time the EMMC designated contact person for the History-Archives Committee which governed the Centre. In 1999 the EMMC office asked one of its members, Martha Martens, to select material to be deposited in the archives. The Mennonite Heritage Centre is the official depository for the Evangelical Mennonite Mission Conference of Canada since October 27, 1979. In 2002 Martha Martens deposited 12 boxes of records consisting of financial records, mission workers records and convention reports. Under direction of the conference she culled the mission workers files. In 2007 another 18 boxes were deposited consisting primarily of mission board, executive and financial records. In 2008 The Gospel Message radio program, Reinland, Rosefarm, and Bergfeld congregational materials were delivered.

The Gospel Message was a project of the radio committee which began in 1957. In 1964 radio responsibility was given to the Board of Education and Publication. In 1961 the program partnered with a group of men in Saskatchewan from various backgrounds who were promoting the evangelistic services held by John D. Friesen. Recording was done in Saskatoon, SK. At this time the program switched from High German to Low German. This partnering proved to be a successful move. The program was now heard in BC to Manitoba and was given full endorsement by the EMMC in 1966. After John D. Friesen ended his ministry, Ed Martens took over as the speaker. This program was still being aired in 2008 on several stations in western Canada and in several countries.

Series 13: Evangelical Mennonite Mission Conference - Ladies Auxiliary
Retrieval Numbers: Volumes 5399-5400
Title: Ladies Auxiliary
Dates: 1964-2005
Extent: 70 cm of textual records
The EMMC Ladies auxiliary has its origins in sewing circles. Women who had a desire to help the church began to sew material for the Canadian Mennonite Relief Committee and known as hilfswerk. Eventually these community based organizations became centralized in congregations. At the summer convention in 1962 the Christian Service board suggested the women should form their own organization. Agnes Gerbrandt, Nettie Penner, and Tina Fehr became the committee that planned the “special ladies session” at the 1963 session in Saskatoon . In 1964 there were 18 sewing circles with 270 members. The main 3 objectives were personal growth, fellowship, and support of missions. In 1966 a constitution was formed. In 1976 the constitutions was amended to allow elections to happen on a provincial level. The Ladies Aid was under the board of Education and Publication, and in 1970 under the Board of Missions and Service. The first projects were sewing clothes for missionaries and funds for missionaries. This grew to include support for radio ministry and building projects where EMMC missionaries worked. The women got together at what was known as EMMC Ladies Conventions, and later Spring Rallies which was an extension of the ladies conference. The role of the Ladies Aid became less important as women were offered larger roles in the churches and conference level involvement by the mid 1980s.
This series consists of minutes, correspondence consitutions and financial materials.
