There have existed a minimum of eighty separate Brethren assemblies in Manitoba. Seventeen remain, including a few notable non-denominational (ND) Bible churches (BC) with origin among the assemblies. Bold print highlights the earliest assemblies (1870's-1880's), and/or those theorized to be presently existing.
The oldest existing Open Brethren (OB) assembly is [[Brandon Gospel Hall, MB]] founded in 1888, and has consistently maintained walks with the branch that follows the "old paths". There is presently additional data within the Brandon Gospel Hall link, including an early "Who's Who" list, as indicated by the blue link. The oldest existing Exclusive Brethren (EB) assembly is the Winnipeg Meeting Room, founded in 1879, and are associated with the Tunbridge-Wells (TW) branchof 1909, which is predominant in North Americaalso known as Darbyites.
Years listed are approximate era of existence, a plus (+) sign expects additional earlier or later years active (but unknown at this time). Sources are primarily old assembly address lists including 1904, 1927, 1936, 1943, and 1948-present (with some missing). If an assembly was previously known by other names, these have been listed, along with years most well known as such. Historical information forthcoming (D.V.).
