Beth-Car Mennonite Brethren in Christ Church (Staten Island, New York, USA)
Beth-Car Mennonite Brethren in Christ Church was located at Staten Island, New York. Organized in 1938, the 1953 membership was 51, with Robert W. Smock serving as pastor. In 1959, after the Pennsylvania Mennonite Brethren in Christ became the Bible Fellowship Church, the congregation became the Bible Fellowship Church of Staten Island. In 1991 the congregation asked Ralph Ritter, a member of the Plymouth Brethren, to be its pastor. Within a short time the congregation identified with the "open" Brethren and left the Bible Fellowship Church. In 1999 it had 63 members.
