Bethany Missionary Church

A congregation of Reforming (or Reformed) Mennonites was organized at a meeting on May 15, 1874 by a group of church members who had been excommunicated from their former church. A conference at Bloomingdale on March 23, 1875 resulted in the union of Reforming (or Reformed) Mennonites and New Mennonites into a new group known as United Mennonites. In 1883, the congregation became a Mennonite Brethren in Christ Church and was to remain as such for the next sixty-four years. In November 1947 the General Conference held in Potsdam, Ohio approved a change of name to United Missionary Church. During meetings held from March 12 to 16, 1969 the former United Missionary Church and the former Missionary Church Association joined together to form The Missionary Church.

Early meetings of what would become known as Bethany Mennonite Church were held in homes until the summer of 1877 when a church was built on the present site on Lancaster Street East, at the future corner of that street and Chapel Street. The church was the twelfth one to be built in Berlin. Completion and dedication of the new church was in late December, 1877. Services were held in German in the beginning with English-language services being introduced in the 1880s. In 1900 a decision was made to have German-language services every other Sunday morning. A vestibule, new platform, and altar rail were added to the 1877 building in 1900, but it wasn't many years later that the need for a new and larger church became pressing. The old church was torn down in 1908 to make way for construction of a new one on the same site. Dedication Sunday was September 20, 1908. Of interest is the fact that a large tent, pitched at the back of the church property, was used for church services in the interim. The new church was known as the Berlin Congregation of the Mennonite Brethren in Christ. About this same time occasional references were made to the name of Bethany. A violent storm and high winds on the evening of November 29, 1919 caused the front part of the church roof to be lifted off. Major renovations to finish the basement and add a new heating system were made to the church in 1940, and in 1964 an Educational Wing was added.

The first pastor was Moses Weber. He was followed by Peter Geiger, John McNally and John Steckley. Pastor C.F. Krauth was minister in 1908 when the new red brick church was built. He was followed by Cyrus N. Good, Silas Cressman and Ephraim Sievenpiper.

Of interest: annual Camp Meetings were held by the congregation in Samuel Schneider's woods through the years 1887-1910.
