Gilead Mennonite Church (Mennonite Church), located 1½ miles (2.5 km.) northwest of Chesterville, Ohio, is a member of the Ohio and Eastern Mennonite Conference. The first Mennonite settlers arrived in the community in 1950. Murray Krabill arrived in June 1951 to become the first pastor of the congregation, which was organized in 1952. A basement church was built in 1952; in 1959 the building was enlarged and completed. The congregation had a membership of 35 in 1958.

The Gilead Mennonite Church held its final service on 29 January 2023. It donated the building to a new church plant that had been using the facility.
