 Clinton Frame Mennonite Church, located in Clinton Township, [[Elkhart County (Indiana, USA)|Elkhart County]], [[Indiana (USA)|Indiana]], five miles (eight km) east of [[Goshen (Indiana, USA)|Goshen]], was the first Amish Mennonite church organized in Indiana. The first services were held on Easter Day of 1842.
-The first meetinghouse was built in 1848 at the location where the present church stands, which was built in 1888 and enlarged in 1913 and 1949. Two divisions have occurred in the congregation. The first ([[Old Order Amish|Old Order Amish]], 1855-1865) was the result of differences on the question of whether to baptize in the  meetinghouse or in a stream. The second division at Clinton Frame came in 1892 when approximately 40 members left to organize the [[Silver Street Mennonite Church (Clinton Township, Indiana, USA) |Silver Street Mennonite Church]]. Among the issues at that time were questions relating to the regulation of attire and open communion.

 In July 1944 a church in the village of Benton, also in Elkhart County, about five miles (eight km) southwest of the Clinton Frame Church, was purchased by the congregation and regular services held since then (1954). In 1948 this [[Benton Mennonite Church (Goshen, Indiana, USA)|Benton mission church]] became an independent congregation in the Indiana-Michigan Conference. This action took about 40 members out of the Clinton Frame congregation. The 1954 membership was 200. In 2011 the membership was 511; the lead pastor was Terry L. Diener.
