Our Organization

The Evangelical Mennonite Conference is a fellowship of about 60 churches from BC to Ontario, and we have workers in many countries around the world.

Learn more about our structure and current events through our Constitution and annual reports.

The Constitution includes:

  • Statement of Faith

  • Church Practices

  • Church Administration

  • Conference Administration

  • Bill of Incorporation

Our Leaders

The General Board is the legal governing board of the EMC. The Moderator and Vice-moderator are elected by the Conference Council delegates to two-year terms. The Moderator chairs the General Board and the Conference Council meetings. The Vice-moderator provides continuity in the absence of the Moderator.

Each of the nine regions elects a member to serve on the General Board as well. The chairpersons of four other boards are also members of the General Board.

The General Board has overall responsibility for the ministries of EMC, and is accountable to the Conference Council for developing strategy and directing the affairs of the EMC.
