CIEAMM is a conference of 11 congregations based in and near Mexico City.
The first church plant by mission workers from Franconia Mennonite Conference in 1958 was in Nezahualcoyotl City, a marginal, working-class neighborhood of Mexico City. The congregations that form CIEAMM today are primarily located on the edges of the city, where they share the good news with people struggling with economic, social and spiritual needs.
At the time of the 50th anniversary in 2009, church leader Victor Pedrosa wrote: “Sometimes Pentecostal and sometimes charismatic in nature, this Mexican Mennonite Conference of churches affirms its Anabaptist/Mennonite identity. It is committed to following Jesus every day, practicing the good news while becoming communities of believers, eschatological communities, and Messianic communities while recognizing that they are also a pilgrim people just passing through this world.”
In 2014, CIEAM developed a strategic plan with the following strategies:
1. Unify criteria for new believers to understand Anabaptism.
2. Promote of a culture of peace, both internally and externally.
3. Promote and strengthen unity in relationships among members of the conference.
4. Provide formal theological education to strengthen church leaders in developing their ministry.
5. Promote holistic mission and growth in the communities of faith that are a part of CIEAMM.
6. Develop and manage resources for the development of the ministries of CIEAMM.
