History

We are often asked why there are two Mennonite churches across the street from each other, with people wondering, "Can't you get along?"

In 1849 the congregation was divided into two groups due to various issues. These groups came to be known as "Old Order Mennonites - Deep Run East" and "New Order Mennonites - Deep Run West." The division was over the creation of a written church constitution, the establishment of Sunday Schools, and the publication of church materials.

Within a hundred years, those "new" ideas were eventually embraced by the "old-order Mennonites". Today, we share several services with each other every year, and both congregations have their specialties.
