Southeastern Mennonite Conference was officially organized in June 1972 by a group concerned about deviations from Bible doctrine and practices espoused by the Anabaptist movement, particularly at Eastern Mennonite College and the Virginia Mennonite Mission Board. Formerly part of the West Valley District of the Virginia Mennonite Conference, Southeastern Conference initially consisted of 12 congregations, 559 members, and 37 ordained men. The conference published a bimonthly periodical, Life Lines of the Southeastern Mennonite Conference. In the late 1980s it met semiannually in regular session during the last full week of January and June. In June 1979 the conference took action to form two districts, designated as Virginia-West Virginia District and Georgia-Carolina District. In 1981 the conference opened a mission in Anasco, Puerto Rico. In 1986 Southeastern Conference consisted of 17 congregations, with three in Georgia, one in Puerto Rico, one in South Carolina, nine in Virginia, and three in West Virginia. There were a total of 837 members and a ministerial body numbering 54 members (5 bishops, 32 ministers, and 18 deacons).
In 1995 the South Atlantic Mennonite Conference was formed from the Georgia-Carolina District of the Southeastern Mennonite Conference.
In 2010 the Southeastern Mennonite Conference had 734 members in 16 congregations:
