Homeville Mennonite Mission met in a formerly unused church near Cochranville, Chester County, Pennsylvania, where in 1945 the Millwood District of Lancaster Conference opened a mission outpost. The membership in 1953 was 37, the Sunday school enrollment 85 with an average attendance of 69, and a summer Bible school of 114. The minister was Ephraim Nafziger, and John A. Kennel and LeRoy Stoltzfus were the bishops. Kennett Square became an outpost of Homeville.

The Homeville Mission merged with the Andrew's Bridge Mennonite Fellowship in about 1975 and became part of that congregation.
