United Revival Mennonite Church (Brooklyn, New York, USA)
The Iglesia Unida de Avivamiento (United Revival Church) in Brooklyn, New York, existed for several years as an independent congregation pastored by César Segura. In September 1973, it requested affiliation with the Council of Hispanic Mennonite Churches of Pennsylvania. It became part of the Lancaster Mennonite Conference in April 1974.
In 1976, the congregation left its deteriorating facilities on DeKalb Avenue and purchased a building at 169 Knickerbocker Avenue, into which it moved on 3 July 1977. In 2000, the congregation began an expansion building project. Various misunderstandings stalled the project for years, but it was finally completed in 2010.
