Wasepi Mennonite Chapel (Centreville, Michigan, USA)
The Oak Grove Mennonite Chapel, east of Centreville, Michigan, began in 1966. John J. Lambright served as the first pastor.
In about 1971, the congregation changed its name to Wasepi Mennonite Chapel.
In 2018, the Wasepi Mennonite Chapel withdrew from the Indiana-Michigan Mennonite Conference of Mennonite Church USA. It appeared to become an independent Mennonite congregation.
