Rockton Mennonite Church (MC), located in the northeastern part of Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, a member of the Allegheny Conference, had its beginning in 1839, when John Brubaker, the first minister and bishop in the new settlement, located here. Other names of early settlers were Lininger, LaBorde, Hummel, Brilhart, and Hollopeter. The first meetinghouse was built in 1860 and the Sunday school was established in 1864. Revival meetings in 1897 by A. D. Wenger strengthened the church by 23 new accessions. The membership in 1957 was 25, with Paul L. King as minister in charge.
