Established in 1889, the Old Order Mennonite Churchin Ontario was a division from the (Old) Mennonite Church (now Mennonite Church-Canada). Throughout the mid-1800s, several of the more traditional Mennonites in Waterloo County (in southwestern Ontario) felt increasingly uncomfortable with changes in the church, including revival meetings, the addition of Sunday Schools, and prayer and other services in English.
