There are a number of congregations which have splintered or moved away from these beginning groups and have formed different fellowships. The earliest group began to be associated informally together in what was called the ''Conservative Mennonite Fellowship'' beginning in 1956. Most of these congregations were of Amish Mennonite Origin coming from the [[Conservative Mennonite Conference]]. They began the earliest mission work among the conservative groups in the early 1960s in Chimaltenago, Guatemala (on the Eastern side). What remained of these congregations joined the ''Nationwide Fellowship Churches'' in 1997.

Another group was the only Conference to remain conservative namely, the ''Washington County, Maryland/Franklin County, Pennsylvania Conference'' (founded in 1790) centered mostly around Hagerstown, Maryland. In recent years they also have begun publishing under the name ''Brotherhood Publications''. Their history to 1960 has been published.<ref>Daniel R.
