Mathias Mennonite Church (Mathias, West Virginia, USA)
The Buckhorn Mennonite Church (Mennonite Church), Cullers Run Mennonite Mission, and Mt. Hermon Mennonite Church near Mathias, West Virginia, merged in 1973 to become the Mathias Mennonite Church.
Construction began on the Mathias building in 1972, and was completed in fall 1973. The generosity of many people enabled the construction of the stone church for approximately $48,000. It was paid for in less than ten years.
