__FORCETOC__
__TOC__
The Reinland Fellowship Mennonite Church started in 1994 when a group split off from the [[New Reinland Mennonite Church of Ontario]]. Their purpose was to maintain more conservative ways. Their worship and lifestyle are virtually the same as the [[Old Colony Mennonites]]. Worship is in the German language and ministers wear black. Women do not wear distinctive clothing.

This group relates to the [[Reinland Mennonite Church (Manitoba)|Reinland Mennonite Church]] in Manitoba, whose bishop ordained the their bishop. In 2008 the group is led by a bishop, five ministers, and a deacon. Three congregations were located in the Aylmer area with a total membership of 975.
