Peace Community Fellowship (Burlington, Iowa, USA)
The Peace Community Fellowship, Burlington, Iowa, USA, began as a church plant of the Iowa-Nebraska Mennonite Conference of the Mennonite Church (MC) in 1987. The first service was held on 12 April 1987. For some years it met in a downtown office building.
The church's name changed to Peace Mennonite Church in the late 1990s.
As part of the realignment of the Mennonite Church (MC) and General Conference Mennonite Church into Mennonite Church USA, Peace Mennonite was among the congregations that joined the new Central Plains Mennonite Conference in 2000.
Peace Mennonite Church was last listed in the 2005 edition of the Mennonite Church USA Directory."
