Maple Grove Mennonite Church (New Wilmington, Pennsylvania, USA)
The Maple Grove Mennonite Church (Mennonite Church), located two miles (three km) south of New Wilmington, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, was organized about 1850 by a group that had withdrawn from the Old Order Amish Church under the leadership of their first minister and bishop John Kanagy. They built the first meetinghouse (25 x 35 ft.) in 1872, remodeled in 1902 and finally removed; the 1950s-era meetinghouse (36 x 56 ft.) was built in 1930. This rural church, which had a membership of 68 in 1955, belonged to theOhio and Eastern Conference and was under the leadership of Nathan Nussbaum as pastor, and Roy Kaufman in 1957.
