Baard, a Mennonite congregation in the Dutch province of [[Friesland (Netherlands)|Friesland]], about miles (16 km) southwest of [[Leeuwarden (Friesland, Netherlands)|Leeuwarden]] (coordinates: 53° 9′ 0″ N, 5° 40′ 0″ E). The date of its origin is not known. In the 17th century the congregation belonged to the [[Janjacobsgezinden|Jan-Jacobsgezinden]] and in 1640 had about 70 members. Of the 18th century the names of two of its elders are known: Hantje Broers, 1714-1763, and Broer Eelkes, first as a preacher, and after the death of Hantje as elder, 1743-1790. In 1779 the congregation had 60 members. In 1785 it divided with [[Ameland (Friesland, Netherlands)|Ameland]] the possessions of the extinct Jan-Jacobsgezinden at [[Makkum (Friesland, Netherlands)|Makkum]]. It very likely united with the other Mennonites of the locality not long after 1790. The first theologically trained minister of the congregation was J. Y. Veen, 1825-1829. In 1821 the [[Blessum (Friesland, Netherlands)|Blessum]] congregation of 17 members merged with Baard. In 1861 the membership was 108, in 1898, 101, and in 1950, 57. In 1856 a new church was built because the old one was too small. In 1922 the congregation merged with neighboring [[Ytens (Friesland, Netherlands)|IJtens]]. The last minister Baard had alone was Miss M. T. Gerritsma, 1917-1920. Since the merger the ministers have been living at IJtens: S. I. van Meulen, 1922-1929; J. J. van Riemsdijk, 1930-1940; G. M. Kosters, 1941-1944; T. Hooglag, 1950-    . Most of the members were farmers.
