World Membership, the Mennonite World Conference's own 2025 published list of its constituent member churches, is an institutional self-account rather than independent scholarly analysis. Its authority is that of the umbrella body naming its own membership, the most direct record available of who currently belongs to the conference. Its limit is that it counts affiliation as the conference itself defines it and cannot adjudicate a disputed case of who properly belongs to a member church. Cite it for the conference's own current membership roll; a claim about a specific church's internal composition needs that church's own record.
