View source for Brennemans Mennonite Church (Edom, Virginia, USA)

Brennemans Mennonite Church ([[Mennonite Church (MC)|Mennonite Church]]), now extinct, was located two miles (three km) west of Edom, [[Rockingham County (Virginia, USA) | Rockingham County]], [[Virginia (USA)|Virginia]], under the [[Virginia Mennonite Conference (Mennonite Church USA)|Virginia Mennonite Conference]]. The original church was built in 1826 on the farm of Melchior Brenneman (1775-1828), and was used for both school and church services. At some unknown date a larger church, 40 x 50 ft., was built, which was in continuous use until 1919, when the building was sold. What remained of the membership then worshiped at the [[Lindale Mennonite Church (Linville, Virginia, USA)|Lindale Church]] one mile north of Edom. A Sunday school was conducted at Brennemans for some years beginning about the year 1870. Joseph Geil (1858-1945) attended this Sunday school as a barefoot boy. This was probably the first Sunday school held in the [[Northern District (Virginia Mennonite Conference, Mennonite Church USA)|Northern District]] of the Virginia Conference.
