Silver Lake Mennonite Brethren Church (sometimes called the Dolton M.B. Church), Hutchinson County, South Dakota, was organized by about 30 members under the leadership of P. H. Unruh in 1889. In 1891 a church was constructed east of Silver Lake and about three miles southwest of Dolton. P. H. Unruh was succeeded by Peter Fast, who served 1909-1923, J. J. Adrian 1923-1946, G. S. Warkentin 1946-?. In 1920 a new church with a seating capacity of 275 was erected.

In 1957 the membership was 140, with John Regehr as pastor.

The church no longer exists.
