Garifuna Evangelical Church (Miami, Florida, USA)
The Garifuna Evangelical Church began in 1998 when Mario Dominguez began outreach to the Garifuna people in the greater Miami, Florida, area. In about 2002, the congregation was based in Lauderdale Lakes and affiliated with the Southeast Mennonite Conference of Mennonite Church USA.
Following a three-year discernment process, delegates voted in 2018 for the Southeast Mennonite Conference to leave Mennonite Church USA. That action became effective in March 2019. At that time, all congregations were given one year to determine their future denominational affiliation.
Eventually, the Southeast Mennonite Conference became a district of LMC: a Fellowship of Anabaptist Churches as that former regional body developed into a nationwide denomination. Thus, the Garifuna Evangelical Church in Miami became part of LMC.
