1990 Article

In 1956 Peter and Katherine Siemens left the North Carolina Krimmer Mennonite Brethren churches. At that time there were congregations in Boone, Bushill, 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 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. The North Carolina Conference joined the General Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches of North America when the Mennonite Brethren and the Krimmer Mennonite Brethren merged in 1960.
