Dover Christian Fellowship (Dover, Ohio, USA)
The Dover Christian Fellowship, Dover, Ohio, USA, began in 1994 when six adults responded to a call to start a church in the Dover/New Philadelphia area of Ohio. Gordon Allaby came as the church planter in 1994.
The church began in a storefront at 119 West Third Street in Dover. Later, the group purchased an empty store across the street. The group started a coffee house and felt called to minister to the disenfranchised.
The group joined the Central District Conference of the General Conference Mennonite Church and the Ohio Mennonite Conference of the Mennonite Church (MC) in 1996.
The congregation closed in 2009 or soon thereafter. The remaining members distributed the proceeds of the building's sale to various charities.
