Alberta-Saskatchewan Mennonite District Mission Board
Alberta-Saskatchewan Mennonite District Mission Board (Mennonite Church) was authorized in 1920. Among its first active members were Allan Good and Jacob Brenneman. E. S. Hallman served as its president 1920-1928, followed by M. D. Stutzman in 1928. It consisted of nine members in 1958 and sponsored five mission stations in Alberta.
In 1972 the charter of the incorporated Mission Board was altered to become the the legal structure of the Alberta-Saskatchewan Mennonite Conference. At the same time the conference changed its name to the Northwest Conference of the Mennonite Church. The mission work of the restructured conference subsequently became one of the program boards of the conference.
See Northwest Mennonite Conference for information on its parent conference.
