Zimmerman Mennonite Church (Mennonite Church), now extinct, was a congregation of the Lancaster Mennonite Conference in Carroll County, Maryland. The meetinghouse built by John Zimmerman in 1858 is located 2 miles south of the Mason-Dixon Line, and 3½ miles southeast of Linesboro. There had previously been a log meetinghouse across the lane. John K. Zimmerman deeded the tract in 1866 to Abraham Hostetter and Samuel T. Bechtel, trustees of the Hanover congregation. The cemetery near by is mentioned in the farm deed. The congregation was never large, and since the land was not too fertile, the members moved away; by 1921 services were discontinued. It was a part of the York-Adams County Bishop District.
Zimmerman was the name of two cemeteries in Lancaster County, one of them associated with the Lichty meetinghouse, although a half mile away, and the other with the Martindale meetinghouse nearby. The former was used rarely in the 1950s, but the Old Order Mennonites used the latter. Both are well kept.
