The Mennonite Fellowship of Bloomington, located in Bloomington, Indiana, began in 1988 and became a member of the Indiana-Michigan Mennonite Conference of Mennonite Church USA in 1993.

The group, primarily composed of students and faculty at Indiana University-Bloomington, initially met in homes and functioned with lay leadership. About 2006, they began meeting Sunday afternoons at First United Church in Bloomington. Once a month, they held a potluck.

In 2007, the congregation explored a more formal structure and established a leadership team.
