Bean Blossom Mennonite Church (Conservative Mennonite Conference) is located in Bean Blossom, a village in Jackson Township, Brown County. The building, which in 1954 was 107 years old, was occupied by the Presbyterian Church until approximately 1941. In May 1945 the Indiana-Michigan Mennonite Mission Board began permanent work there by ordaining and placing there Charles C. Haarer of the Shore congregation, Lagrange County, Indiana. The total baptized membership in 1953 was 34.

The congregation was part of the Indiana-Michigan Mennonite Conference until about 2003 when it joined the Conservative Mennonite Conference. The pastor in 2016 was Jeff Miller; the membership was 49.

In 2017 the congregation changed its name to Bean Blossom Community Church.
