Florica Colony is located in Florida, Paraguay, near Luz y Esperanza. The church originated in 1977, shortly after a group of Amish from the United States settled in the area in 1976. The congregation is active in the distribution of Bibles and Christian literature in the neighborhood.

In 2014 the church had 35 members and was a member of the Mennonite Christian Fellowship. The ministerial team included Bishop John H. Myers and Ministers David Riehl and Henry Ervin Schlabach.
