The Texhoma Mennonite Church near Texhoma, Texas, USA was established in 1995. The congregation started when families began to move to this area of the Texas-Oklahoma panhandle in 1994. They found farmland available for growing alfalfa, corn, and milo. Some of the families lived near Guymon, Oklahoma, and the first worship service was held in a home there on 24 July 1994.

The congregation formally organized on 13 June 1995. Over the summer months, an old hardware building was rented, fixed up, and used as a church and school. Later they met in a building in Texhoma, and in about 2015 built a church southeast of Texhoma, Texas.

In 2020 the congregation was part of the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite. The ministers were Andy Wedel and Darwin Koehn.
