Tourist Mennonite Church, originally called Pinecraft Mennonite Church, and later Pinecraft Tourist Mennonite Church, is located in Sarasota, Florida. It was originally a member of the Lancaster Mennonite Conference, and was organized about 1946 from among those attending the Union Mennonite Church in the Pinecraft area. It had a membership of 30 in 1957, with Joseph M. Nissley and Otho B. Shenk serving as preachers.

In the 1980s it became an unaffiliated Mennonite congregation.

In 2014 the church had 31 members. The ministerial team included Bishop David Graber and Deacon John D. Troyer.
