The organization meeting was held in November of last year. At this meeting Arnold Fast (E.M.C. Chortitz) was elected president and Hans Dyck (Emmaus Mennonite Church) became the secretary.
The three other churches participating are: Reinland Gospel Fellowship Church (J. J. M. Friesen), Blumenhof Gospel Mennonite Church (E.M.M.C. Jake Froese), The M. B. Church (Henry Klassen).
Some of the immediate aims are: Trying to get into the schools for religious instructions, a united campaign with George Brunk (1964).
