Roedersville Mennonite Church (Pine Grove, Pennsylvania, USA)
The Roedersville Mennonite Church began as a church plant of the Indiantown Mennonite Church from Ephrata, Pennsylvania. Four families moved from Lancaster County to the Roedersville (Pine Grove), Pennsylvania area, and launched the church in June 1956. They met in a former one-room schoolhouse. Pastors and lay members of the Indiantown congregation led Sunday school and worship services.
The congregation added an entrance, washrooms, and a nursery in 1973. More renovations and a three-floor addition were completed in 1997.
