Wooster Mennonite Church (Wooster, Ohio, USA)
Wooster Mennonite Church (Mennonite Church), formerly known as the Wooster Mennonite Mission, located in the city of Wooster, Wayne County, Ohio, is a member of the Ohio and Eastern Mennonite Conference. It was started by the Salem Mennonite Church of Wayne County as a mission with Rudy Stauffer as pastor, and was organized in November 1944 under the Ohio Mennonite Mission Board, with eight charter members. The congregation worshiped in a house on Gasche Street until 1951, became an independent congregation, and built a new brick church in 1954 with a seating capacity of 300. The 144 members in 1959 represented ten denominational backgrounds, a mixed character of urban and rural. Paul Brunner was pastor.
