View source for Bunker Hill Amish Mennonite Church (Holmesville, Ohio, USA)

The Bunker Hill Amish Mennonite Church at Holmesville, [[Ohio (State)|Ohio]] began when a group lead by minister, Abner Schlabach, withdrew from the [[Pleasant View Mennonite Church (Millersburg, Ohio, USA)|Pleasant View Conservative Mennonite Church]]. An informal group rented space for a number of years, before finally buying a building in 1939 or 1940. The reasons why the group formed, and why it joined the [[Beachy Amish Mennonite Fellowship|Beachy Amish Mennonites]] are not clear. The group experienced particular difficulty when Jeremiah Schlabach, who had been ordained in 1949, left the congregation in 1953 and returned to the [[Beachy Amish Mennonite Fellowship|Old Order Amish]]. In 1953 there were 28 members.

In 1963 the congregation relocated to Benton, Ohio and adopted a new name, [[Fryburg Beachy Fellowship (Fryburg, Ohio, USA)|Fryburg Beachy Fellowship]].
