The Tampa Mennonite Mission began in 1927 through the missionary efforts of Charles B. and Anna Byer. The original mission was directed to Hispanic immigrants and became known as the Ida Street Mennonite Church. The Ybor Mennonite Mission, also directed to Spanish-speaking immigrants, began in 1930. These two congregations merged in about 1966 at the Ybor City location. The merged congregation became the North Tampa Mennonite Church when it moved to a new location in 1972. Around 1990 it changed its name to North Tampa Christian Fellowship

It was a multi-cultural congregation, with particular outreach to second and third-generation Hispanics living in the United States.

By 2009, North Tampa Christian Fellowship required a “reboot.” With support and oversight by Southeast Mennonite Conference leadership, College Hill Mennonite Church offered support and assistance in re-starting North Tampa.

North Tampa continued as an English-speaking, multicultural body of believers ministering across diverse racial, cultural, and economic groups.

The congregation became part of the Southeast Mennonite Conference in the 1970s after congregations in the southeastern United States formed their own regional conference and left their founding conferences like the Lancaster Conference.
