New Hamburg Conservative Mennonite Church (New Hamburg, Ontario, Canada)
The New Hamburg Conservative Mennonite congregation began services in 1959, and formally organized in 1960. The first building was occupied in 1960. The congregation originated through division from the Mennonite Conference of Ontario over doctrinal and church discipline issues.
In 1965 there were 82 members; in 1975, 88; in 1985, 38; in 1995, 57; in 2000, 100; in 2004, 79; in 2009, 90. The congregation has been affiliated with the Conservative Mennonite Church of Ontario (1960-1993). In about 1993 it withdrew and became an unaffiliated Mennonite Church. The language of worship is English.
The congregation is located on Hamilton Road in New Hamburg, near the intersection with Highway 7&8. Bishop Oman Bauman served as congregational leader in 2009.
