The Northside Mennonite Church (first Lima Mission, then Jefferson Street Mennonite ([[Mennonite Church (MC)|Mennonite Church]])) was organized in the southeastern part of the city of Lima, Ohio, in January 1910 as a result of mission interest at the Pike and [[Salem Mennonite Church (Elida, Allen County, Ohio, USA)|Salem]] congregations.<em> </em>E. E. Troyer and C. D. Brenneman were the first superintendents. Later in the year Preacher B. B. Stoltzfus and family of [[West Liberty (Ohio, USA)|West Liberty]] were invited to locate at the mission. Several years later Mennonites were invited to assist in a Sunday school conducted on North Jefferson Street by the Presbyterian Board. The congregations in [[Allen County (Ohio, USA)|Allen]], [[Logan County (Ohio, USA)|Logan]], [[Champaign County (Ohio, USA)|Champaign]], and Fulton counties assisted B. B. Stoltzfus and his family in remodeling the church and building a home for the workers, completed in 1917. As part of the building fund Stoltzfus donated his share of an oats crop which he had raised in [[North Dakota (USA)|North Dakota]]. The congregation was organized in 1922 by the [[Eastern Amish Mennonite Conference|Eastern A.M.]] and [[Ohio Mennonite Conference|Ohio Mennonite]] conferences. The two conferences had ordained Henry Müller, a mission convert, as deacon the year before. After Stoltzfus' health declined in 1924, the Board appointed Earl Miller and his wife Fern as workers, who left in 1926 to take charge of the Peoria, [[Illinois (USA)|Illinois]], mission. In 1926 Maurice O'Connell and his wife Geneva, converts of the [[First Mennonite Church (Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA)|Fort Wayne, Indiana, mission]], were appointed superintendent and matron. O'Connell served as licensed preacher until 1928, when he was ordained to the ministry. [[Allgyer, Samuel Evans (1859-1953)|S. E. Allgyer]] ordained him bishop in 1940. After his death in 1946 he was succeeded by Glenn Martin of North Dakota. After 1953 Darwin O'Connell, assistant pastor, served as pastor. The membership in 1954 was 73.

In the late 1960s the congregation relocated to 1318 North Main Street in Lima, and became known as the Northside Mennonite Church. In 1995 it merged with the [[Lima Mennonite Church (Lima, Ohio, USA)|First Mennonite Church of Lima]] ([[General Conference Mennonite Church (GCM)|General Conference Mennonite]]) to form the Lima Mennonite Church. The new congregation met at Northside's location.
