The New Reinland Mennonite Church (NRMC) is one of many new Mennonite congregations that have sprung up in Southern Ontario during the last twenty-five years. The congregation was made up originally of Mennonites who had left Mexico because life was too hard economically for them. Services were originally in the Low German language but today some English is being used in the worship services.
Bishop Cornelius and Anna Quiring and Benjamin and Helena Wall have given leadership in the local church since the congregation was established in 1984. Since 1996 the leaders have been William and Sara Thiessen.
Regular church activities include a wormen’s sewing group and a time of singing on Saturday evenings. One annual event in which there is active participation is the Mennonite Community Sale.
