Iglesia Evangelica Menonita Eben-Ezer (Bronx, New York, USA)
The Iglesia Evangelica Menonita Eben-Ezer (Ebenezer Evangelical Mennonite Church), Bronx, New York, USA, began in late 1986 in a merger of the Bronx Spanish Mennonite Church and the Morris Heights Mennonite Church, both composed of newcomers to the area from Puerto Rico.
The church took over the facility on Sherman Avenue formerly used by the Good Shepherd Mennonite Church.
In April 2018 the congregation withdrew from the Atlantic Coast Conference and Mennonite Church USA. It became a member of LMC: a Fellowship of Anabaptist Churches.
