Cedar Fork Mennonite Church (Beulaville, North Carolina, USA)
Cedar Fork Mennonite Church is located in Beulaville, North Carolina, USA. The church was organized in 2006.
The congregation began as a means to provide support for a local Cedar Fork family that had been attending the Hope Mennonite Church beginning in 1996. Hope was located 120 miles (200 km) from Cedar Fork. After a few years the Hope congregation began sending families to Cedar Fork one Sunday a month for worship. At the end of 2003 another family moved to the community and services began to be held every other week. In 2005 four more families were chosen from the Hope congregation to relocate to Cedar Fork.
On 1 January 2006 the first service for the new congregation was held in the Old Bethlehem Baptist Church. On 8 January 2006 Seth Hershey was ordained as minister for the congregation. On 4 February 2007 Simon Martin was ordained as deacon. LaMar Ramer was also ordained as minister in 2010, and bishop in 2014. By 2014 there were 13 families active in the congregation.
In 2018 the church had 54 members and was a member of the Nationwide Fellowship Churches. The ministerial team included Bishop LaMar Ramer, Minister Seth Hershey, and Deacon Simon Martin.
