<h3>1990 Article</h3> In 1956 Peter and Katherine Siemens left the North Carolina [[Krimmer Mennonite Brethren|Krimmer Mennonite Brethren]] churches. At that time there were congregations in Boone, Bushill, [[Lenoir (North Carolina, USA)|Lenoir]], Laytown, Beech Bottom, Darby, Cove Creek, Shell Creek, Heaton, Cranberry, and Elk Park. The last five congregations no longer exist. After 1956 the remaining congregations moved toward greater independence under the leadership of [[Horton, Rhondo D. (1895-1986)|Rondo Horton]]. Pastoral leadership in 1987 included seven part-time pastors; total membership was 189. A critical need reported by conference leaders was the retention of young people and the training of leaders. There has been a significant ministry to university students in Boone in the 1980s.

Westwood Community Church, Winnipeg MB

The Westwood Community Church in Winnipeg, Manitoba came into existence in January 1979 in order to create another gospel witness in the far west of Winnipeg where a significant number of Mennonite Brethren had taken up residence. A Christian Service Brigade (CSB) program conducted by the Portage Avenue Mennonite Brethren Church in the Westwood suburb for a number of years previous was a forerunner to the creation of the church. After meeting in Bedson and Columbus schools for ten years, the congregation dedicated its own newly constructed building in February 1989.
