The Northern District Conference of the former General Conference Mennonite Church and Iowa-Nebraska Conference of the former Mennonite Church merged to form Central Plains Mennonite Conference in 2000.[1] Five churches located in Iowa that were members of the Central District Conference voted to join Central Plains Mennonite Conference at the same time.
Among the symbols in the logo are a Native American peace pipe, representing unity among the different communities that make up the conference; a towel and basin, representing the Mennonite practice of service; and a pitcher representing believer's baptism and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
