Lake Haven Mennonite Church (Starbuck, Minnesota, USA)
The Lake Haven Mennonite Church southwest of Starbuck, Minnesota, USA was established in 1990. The congregation started as a result of an investigation of the Alexandria, Minnesota area by the Colonization Board of the denomination. Elmer and Leah Peachey from Belleville, Pennsylvania were the first family to move to the area in April 1989.
Initially, families met in homes and sometimes listened to worship services by phone from Almena, Wisconsin. Once a month, they traveled to Almena for services. In August 1990, the group rented a vacant church building. It also rented a mobile home to use for school.
Lake Haven was organized as a congregation on 2 September 1990. For the first six years, pastoral leadership came from nonresident or short-term visiting ministers. Wade Jantz was ordained as a minister on 20 January 1996.
The church also operates the Lake Country Christian School.
In 2020 the congregation was part of the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite. The ministers were Wade Jantz and Jason Isaac.
