The Gospel Light Mennonite Church in Gordonsville, Virginia, USA was established in 1995. The congregation started as an outreach of the Oak Grove Mennonite Church in Aroda, Virginia in the 1990s. At the same time differences arose within the Oak Grove congregation over matters of discipline on issues of dress regulations. Five families withdrew and began an outreach in Charlottesville in rented facilities. When that facility was not available they met in homes in Aroda, but then purchased land in Gordonsville and built a church.

In 2017 the church was a member of the Beachy Amish Mennonite Fellowship and had a membership of 50. The ministers were Eldon Hochstetler and Darrel Beachy.
