Bethel Conservative Mennonite Church, 2004

The Bethel Conservative Mennonite Church was organized in 1957 as a schism from the Riverdale Amish Mennonite Church, in which the bishop, Valentine Nafziger, took a more conservative position on nonconformity in attire and withdrew with a like-minded group. The membership in 1958 was 69, with Nafziger as bishop and Kenneth Brenneman as minister. The Bethel group built its own meetinghouse in 1958.

Minister Peter Shantz served in 2004 as a non-salaried congregational leader. In 1965 there were 86 members; in 1975, 50; in 1985, 52; in 1995, 69; in 1999, 43; in 2007, 50. It has been affiliated with the Conservative Mennonite Fellowship (1956-70), and the Midwest Mennonite Fellowship (1980-) The language of worship is English.
