East White Oak Bible Church (Carlock, Illinois, USA)
The East White Oak Bible Church (formerly East White Oak Mennonite Church), is an independent, non-denominational church at 11922 East 2000 North Road, Carlock, McLean County, Illinois, was organized in 1892 with Peter Schantz as pastor, and a church was built in the same year. Emanuel Troyer was ordained as assistant pastor in 1899, and later succeeded Schantz as bishop or elder of the church, which he served until 1928. R. J. Zehr was then called to serve as pastor. The church was a member of the Central Conference of Mennonites from its beginning until 1934, at which time it severed its relation with the conference and has since operated as an independent congregation. In 1934 the membership was 260.
