Richfield Mennonite Church (General Conference Mennonite), located in Richfield, Juniata County, Pennsylvania, a member of the Eastern District Conference, began in 1883, when about 125 members, the larger part of the Cross Roads congregation, with three ministers, Solomon and Thomas Graybill and William Bergey, and deacon Abel Shirk, withdrew from the Lancaster County (Mennonite Church) Conference to form an independent congregation. A meetinghouse was built in 1886 and enlarged in 1914 and 1950. A Sunday school was organized in 1914. In 1928 the congregation joined the Eastern District Conference. The membership in 1958 was 270, with Walter J. Dick as pastor. Biweekly worship services were held until 1948, when weekly Sunday morning and evening services were begun.
