In 1857, the church was partly organized, and Samuel Doney and Samuel Lupold appointed deacons. Samuel Lupold has remained one of
the ministers and elders till the present. David Evans and Benjamin Leer have also served as ministers. At the
present time, David M. Truby is elder of the district, including Newbury, and Benjamin Leer minister of the Shipshewana Church.
