Conservative Mennonites characteristically conduct worship services in the language of the country in which they inhabit.  This is in contrast to various Old Order groups which would still conduct their services in German. They differ from the Old Order groups mainly in their acceptance of certain technologies or modern inventions, are evangelical, and conduct missions.  The more conservative groupings also operate their own private Christian day schools (operated by free will offerings) in preference to promoting home schooling.

They frequently serve their communities voluntarily and other areas in times of natural disaster through organized work programs for instance Hurricane Katrina disaster relief.
