View source for Cosquín Mennonite Church (Cosquín, Córdoba, Argentina)

The Cosquín Mennonite Church is located in the city of Cosquín, (1950 pop. 7,000; 2001 pop. 19,000), on the Córdoba-Cruz del Eje branch of the Northern Argentine Railroad, seat of the county of Cosquín, in the Province of Córdoba, [[Argentina|Argentina]]. The work here was begun by D. P. and Lillie Lantz under the [[Mennonite Board of Missions (Mennonite Church)|Mennonite Board of Missions and Charities]] in 1935. The property was bought in 1939 and by 9 July 1940 the new church building was ready for dedication.

The membership has fluctuated considerably because Cosquín was a health resort and people remained there only long enough to regain their strength and vitality. The 1954 membership was 14. The Lantzes served this congregation during the years 1935-1937 and 1939-1947; the L. S. Webers in 1937-1938; and the J. L. Rutts, beginning in 1947.
