2.  North Saskatchewan District Conference (Rosthern Kreis)
1899–1997.
1.5 m of textual records.

Administrative history
In 1898 Mennonite Brethren pioneers came to Saskatchewan from the United States and from Manitoba to find land for their growing families. They were attracted to the Saskatchewan area because of the availability of free homesteads and cheaper land. Wherever possible they tried to settle in groups. One such group settled near the North Saskatchewan River. On Sundays they gathered in private homes to worship but they soon needed a larger meeting place. In 1900 the Ebenfeld Church was built near Laird, followed by the Brotherfield Church near Waldheim in 1901. Joint meetings (Hauptversammlungen) were held annually to which members of all area churches came to plan for the future.

Jacob B. Wiens, formerly from Kansas, became the first leader of the church (Gemeinde) in Saskatchewan. Wiens was the first Saskatchewan delegate at the General Conference (1905) held in Kansas. The following year there were 14 delegates representing Saskatchewan at the General Conference held in Minnesota. As a result of rapid expansion in the North and financial limitations, the decision was made to divide into districts and to meet together every three years as a General Conference. The first Northern District Conference (later known as the Canadian conference) met in 1910. At that conference the Saskatchewan delegates were already grouped into two sections – the Northern District (Rosthern Kreis) and the Southern District (Herbert Kreis). These groupings probably came about as a result of settlement clusters.

The first minutes of the Northern District (Rosthern Kreis) were recorded in 1899 when two Allgemeine Bruderberatungen (brotherhood meetings) were held to organize as a body. David Dyck, then from Manitoba, chaired these meetings. Heinrich Voth from Minnesota was also active in organizing the North Saskatchewan District Conference. Meetings were held in order to prepare for decisions at the General Conference. Few delegates could go so a preliminary sesssion (Vorberatungen) was held to reach a consensus about evangelism in Saskatchewan and other matters that were decided on the General Conference level. After 1910 the brotherhood meetings were conducted semi-annually. The name of the meetings became Halbjahres Versammlungen instead of Bruderberatungen.

On 27 February 1909 at a meeting in the Brotherfield Church the motion was made that the Saskatchewan churches should incorporate. A committee of six was nominated who drafted a constitution which was submitted to each church for approval. The Mennonite Brethren of Saskatchewan officially incorporated under the name of “The Mennonite Brethren of Saskatchewan” and in 1953 they officially changed the name to “Mennonite Brethren Church of Saskatchewan.”

In 1965 a paper outlining the proposed steps of procedure for amalgamation of North and South Districts was sentto the churches for study. At the June North District Conference, the delegates voted one hundred percent in favour of amalgamation. They passed a motion to elect a six-member steering committee with equal representation from North and South to give guidance and direction in the forming of one provincial conference. (See Yearbook of the Northern Saskatchewan District Conference of MB Churches, June 1965, p. 22).

Sub-fonds description

North Saskatchewan District Conference Executive sub-fonds. – 1937–1969.
5 cm of textual records.

Administrative history
As early as 1937 a committee of nine made up the executive of the North Saskatchewan District Conference. Included were the moderator, assistant moderator and secretary. The other six members were responsible for the oversight of home missions, city missions, music, youth work, and colportage work. (See executive minutes, 29 September 1937) They met several times a year to make interim decisions for the conference. In 1966 the Executive consisted of the chairman, the vice-chairman, the secretary, the treasurer and a representative from Home Missions. The Executive brought recommendations to the conference about appointments to such positions as hospital chaplaincy, treasurer and secretary. In 1966 they recommended that the Home Missions representative on the Executive be replaced by a member at large. The recommendation was accepted.

Scope and content
This sub-fonds consists of minutes and correspondence of the Conference Executive.

Custodial history
Some of the correspondence and minutes came from Bethany where they had been housed while some had come to Centre for Mennonite Brethren Studies earlier.

Notes
North Saskatchewan District Conference Reference and Counsel sub-fonds. – 1953–1968.
2 cm of textual records.

Administrative history
As early as 1947 Saskatchewan had two representatives on the Canadian Fuersorgekomitee. On the North District level the forerunner of the Fuersorgekomitee was the Missionskomitee. On June 12th, 1953 a motion was passed that in the future the Missionskomitee should be called the Fuersorgekomitee. This committee was to consist of the conference moderator, the assistant moderator, the secretary-treasurer, a representative of the Innere Missionskomitee and a representative from each church. (See Yearbook of the Northern Saskatchewan District Conference of MB Churches, June 1953, p. 10). Available minutes of the North District Fuersorgekomittee begin in 1952. Items on the agenda were costs of the conference building projects and Innere Mission expenses – the practical aspects of the conference.

In 1957 the Fuersorgekomitee was renamed the Committee of Reference and Counsel (CRC). In 1967 the CRC brought forward a motion for ordination. Obviously their role had changed over the years.

Scope and content
This sub-fonds consists of photocopied minutes of the Board of Reference and Counsel, formerly the Fuersorgekommittee. Minutes of its forerunner, the Missionskomitee, are located chronologically within the conference minutes.

Custodial history
Most of these minutes were already at Centre for Mennonite Brethren Studies and a few have been added from the materials that came from Bethany.

Notes
North Saskatchewan District Conference Board of Trustees sub-fonds. – 1958–1965.
3 cm of textual records.

Administrative history
Donations for evangelism and foreign missions were under the supervision of the General Conference. Home missions had their own treasury. However, incorporation brought about the need to keep financial records. A secretary was appointed in 1910 to tabulate and send records from each church to the government. Costs for paper, stamps and envelopes had to be paid. Decisions about conference expenses and monies flowing in and out for missions were made on the conference floor. In 1911 the decision was made that each church should send $2.50 to the secretary for expenses. In August 1912 a special brotherhood meeting was held at Hepburn to elect trustees for the whole corporation. A committee of nine members was elected as Beamten des Vorstandes. They replaced an earlier committee, so there must have been trustees earlier. (See October 1909 minutes when a committee of three was elected to supervise the work of colportage). This committee was responsible to sign all papers and to investigate all deeds, loans and mortgages assumed by Saskatchewan churches. In addition there was a treasurer (Kassenfuehrer) to administer home missions money. In 1960 there were five members on the Board of Trustees elected by the Conference. Their duty was to look after the legal work in connection with transfers of church properties. (See Yearbook of the Northern Saskatchewan District Conference of MB Churches, June 1962, pp. 15–19) as well as to manage the conference budget. They were also active in the completion of the tabernacle at Hepburn, a central meeting place for the Northern District. There were two separate Boards – one for the north and one for the south who jointly had one chairman and one secretary to sign official documents. (See Yearbook of the Northern Saskatchewan District Conference of MB Churches, June 1962, p. 15).

Scope and content

In June 1962 Elmo Warkentin was called as a full-time worker to promote Sunday School and Christian Education. Local churches could enlist his services and consult him about their particular needs. Christian Educators’ Conferences were held in 1962, 1964, and 1965 to train leaders and superintendents for the Sunday school.

Notes
North Saskatchewan District Conference Bethany Bible Institute Committee sub-fonds. – 1927–1968.
8 cm of textual records.

Administrative history
As early as November 1912 a committee was elected to collect money from the churches, and to organize a Fortbildungsschule (school for higher education). In December a special meeting was called at Hepburn to organize a Vereinschule (society school). The Brotherfield Church invited a Wanderschule (itinerant school) to meet in their facilities for a three-week session. Later this school would alternate among four places – Dalmeny, Hepburn, Waldheim, and Laird. Students who had completed public school and who could speak and write German were eligible to enrol. Funds for such a school were slow in coming, but discussions continued. In 1914 Dalmeny hosted a school for twenty students under the instruction of H. Fast. In 1913 Herbert began a Bible School but the North District Conference did not take responsibility for it since the constitution stated that each district was responsible for its own local area. The North Saskatchewan District did, however, collect money for the school. Young people from the North Saskatchewan District attended both the Herbert Bible School as well as the Winkler Bible School in Manitoba.

In November 1923 and again in June 1926 delegates at the North Saskatchewan District Conference expressed the need for a Bible School in the Rosthern area. The need for leaders in the churches, for Sunday school teachers, for choir conductors, for Bible training for young people about to establish Christian homes and the desire to keep the German language prompted the establishment of a Bible school in the North Saskatchewan District. In the spring of 1927 George Harms taught a class of 30 students in the Hepburn church. In 1927 a board was elected by representatives from the Mennonite Brethren churches in the Hepburn area. An old public school was purchased from Hepburn for $2,000.00. Since the building was not quite ready in Fall classes began in the Hepburn Church with 7 pupils. After Christmas each student took his chair and books and marched to the newly purchased Bible School. The records show that 23 students attended school that first year. Dietrich P. Esau was the principal until 1933. John B. Toews took the principalship in 1933 and carried on till 1937 when George W. Peters took the leadership. G.D. Huebert was principal from 1942 to 1945 followed by Jacob H. Epp from 1945 to 1964. Corny Braun was principal from 1964 to 1967, Abe Wieler from 1967 to 1968, followed again by Corny Braun.

Notes
North Saskatchewan District Conference Mennonite Brethren Mission of Saskatchewan sub-fonds. – 1930–1983.
79 cm of textual records, microfilm reel.

Administrative history
From its early beginnings the Northern Saskatchewan District placed special emphasis on missions. The Mennonite Brethren Mission of Saskatchewan was earlier known as the Western Children’s Mission. The Mission was established and incorporated in 1937 in Saskatchewan, in 1940 in Alberta and in 1941 in British Columbia by an interdenominational group. In Saskatchewan this group included members of the Mennonite Brethren Church. In the beginning the mission made no promise to its workers of financial remuneration apart from room and board. Later the workers received $10.00 a month besides room and board if the treasury could produce the funds. Then it was changed to $25.00 a month and lodging (workers took care of their own board) but again if there was money in the treasury. The policy was to make no debts.

With the establishment of MB churches in the other provinces, Saskatchewan began to shoulder the responsibilities for its own territory. Support from other areas was discontinued making the work more difficult. Some of the original founders (J.B. Toews, G.W. Peters, Ben Kroeker, and Dan and Dave Wirsche) were called to other service. These facts together with a greater interest in Saskatchewan MB churches for the Western Children’s Mission gradually led to the realization that it would be better to let the churches take over the work. After much discussion the transfer finally took place in 1946. In the meantime the south had joined in with this work as well so that a number of stations were operating there at the time.

At the Provincial Conference of the Mennonite Brethren Churches of Saskatchewan in 1953 the question was raised about a name change for the Western Children’s Mission since the mission was working only in Saskatchewan, not primarily with children, and now belonged to the MB Conference. Because the work of the Western Children’s Mission was now much like other mission work in Saskatchewan, it was suggested that WCM. should be under the same umbrella as other provincial mission work. WCM and City Mission merged into one work under the name of Mennonite Brethren Mission of Saskatchewan. (See Yearbook of the Saskatchewan Conference of MB Churches, 1954, p. 3). The charter of the Western Children’s Mission was dissolved and ownership was placed on the Charter of the MB Church of Saskatchewan.

The Saskatchewan MB Mission Board was organized in 1953 at the Saskatchewan Conference to be responsible for the work that was formerly called the Western Children’s Mission, Stadtmission, and other mission work in both the South and North Districts. The Committee consisted of the provincial moderator as chairman, the assistant moderator, the provincial secretary as secretary, a treasurer elected by the Saskatchewan Conference for three years, a General Director elected by the Saskatchewan Conference for three years to keep contact between the mission stations and the churches and to supervise stations, camps, and Daily Vacation Bible School, one District Director from the South elected by the Saskatchewan Conference for three years who was responsible for DVBS and camp work, five members at large – two from the South and three from the North elected annually by each District to help the District Director. Stations that came under this Committee were Swift Current, Lucky Lake, Regina, Saskatoon, Warman, Hague Ferry, Mildred, Pierceland, Compass and Foam Lake. The whole Committee was to meet twice a year in connection with semi-annual District Conferences, and the Executive was to meet two additional times. The Committee was to submit a budget to the Provincial Conference annually. New applicants for mission stations were to be examined by the Committee. (See Yearbook of the Saskatchewan Conference of MB Churches, 1954, pp. 24–25).

Beginning in 1961(?) minister’s and deacons conferences were held on an annual basis.
