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 in Manitoba, whose bishop ordained 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.
