Arcade Mennonite Church, Arcade, New York, joined the Mennonite Conference of Ontario in 1957. The church was organized in 1956 and held its charter service on 16 December 1956 with 16 members from five families. Edward Diener was the founding bishop and LeRoy Yoder was licensed as a minister to serve the congregation. In 1958 it purchased a schoolhouse in Yorkshire as a meetinghouse.
The Arcade congregation discontinued after their minister had been set back from ministry by the conference due to conflicts within the small congregation.
