Iowa Valley Mennonite Church (Lone Tree, Iowa, USA)
Iowa Valley Mennonite Church (Mennonite Church), Lone Tree, Iowa, began as a mission of the Lower Deer Creek and East Union congregations in 1949 and was organized as a congregation in 1952. In 1958 the membership numbered 33, with Henry M. Yoder as pastor. At that time the congregation worshiped in the community-owned Swank Church.
In October 1987, services were no longer held at Iowa Valley after Henry Yoder retired from farming and moved to Kalona.
