Colonias menonitas llegaron a Belice en 1958 y continúan biviendo ahí hoy en día. A ellos les siguieron trabajadores voluntarios en 1966, quienes empezaron trabajo médico y agrícola en el Distrito de Orange Walk. La Iglesia Evangélica Menonita de Belice fue establecida en 1973, dirijida por pastores y diáconos de varias iglesias en el área. Hoy, la mayoría de las congregaciones tienen pastores de Belice y tienen énfasis en evangelismo y crecimiento eclesial. La iglesia es miembra del Congreso Mundial menonita.

La iglesia se incorporó en 1981 y tiene 10 congregaciones y 425 miembros. Aunque el idioma oficial es inglés, la iglesia tiene servicios de adoración en inglés, español, y Garifuna, o una combinación de estos lenguages.

Old Colony Mennonites first arrived in Belize in 1958 and still continue to live there today. They were followed by service workers in 1966, who began medical and agricultural work in the Orange Walk District. The Belize Evangelical Mennonite Church was established in 1973, led by pastors and deacons from the various churches in the area. Today most of the church's congregations have Belizean pastors and place a strong emphasis on evangelism and church growth. The church is a member of MWC.^[1]

The Belize Evangelical Mennonite Church began in 1973 as a result of service and mission activities of Mennonite Central Committee and Eastern Mennonite Missions. These agencies worked with the Low German–speaking Mennonite colonists in the early 1960s. Incorporated in 1981, the Belize Evangelical Mennonite Church has 10 congregations and 425 members. Although the official language of Belize is English, the church holds worship services in English, Spanish, and Garifuna, or a combination of these languages.^[2]<o:p></o:p>
