Pataste Mennonite Fellowship (Guatuzo, Cantón de San Carlos, Alajuela, Costa Rica)
Pataste Mennonite Fellowship is located in Guatuzo, Cantón de San Carlos, Alajuela, Costa Rica. The church originated in 1980 when the Daniel Yoder family moved to the area.
After holding services in a local home, the new congregation moved to an old building that earlier had served as a church house. A laying hen used the shelf inside the the pulpit during the week to lay her eggs. Later a church house was built for the congregation.
In 2018 the church had 21 members and was a member of the Mennonite Christian Fellowship. The ministerial team included Bishop Gerald S. Yoder.
