Spring River Mennonite Church (La Russell, Missouri, USA)
Spring River Mennonite Church is located in La Russell, Missouri, USA. The church began on 7 March 1990 as an outreach of the Fairview Christian Fellowship. A decision had been made at Fairview in March 1989 to have an outreach work. In June 1989 the lot was used to identify two of the ordained leaders to be part of the move. Bishop Allan Miller and Deacon Vernon Nissley were chosen.
In 2018 the church had 68 members and was a member of the Mennonite Christian Fellowship. The ministerial team included Bishop Allen J. Mast, Ministers Nathaniel Graber and Michael Sommers, and Deacons Herman Schrock and Joseph R. Yoder.
