-Martindale Mennonite Church (MC), a member of the [[LMC: A Fellowship of Anabaptist Churches|Lancaster Conference]], formerly called Fairview, had a meetinghouse on the northeast corner of the town square by 1854. In 1848 the widow of Christian Zimmerman gave a tract for burial purposes west of the town, which became the location of a new meetinghouse in 1886. The [[Old Order Mennonites|Old Order Mennonite]] schism of 1893 in this area resulted in two branches, both using the meetinghouse, and after 1926 three used this commodious stone house, since the Old Order Mennonite group had a schism. The meetinghouse still had the singing table and a table on the floor for a pulpit. After the 1893 division the [[Mennonite Church (MC)|Mennonite (MC)]] congregation was very small, and was cared for by the ministers of the Weaverland congregation. This small group became the especial care of [[Good, Israel B. (1861-1945)|I. B. Good]] and the membership grew. In 1948-49 a 60 x 86 ft. brick meetinghouse was built northwest of the town, the Old Order Mennonite groups retaining the [[Martindale Old Order Mennonite Meetinghouse (Ephrata, Pennsylvania, USA)|old house]]. In 1954 the membership was 266 with John D. Burkholder and Alvin Martin as ministers. In 2005 the membership was 370 with Robert L. Trupe as Pastor.
