Belmont Mennonite Church (BMC) began in 1929 when a group of people from Prairie Street Mennonite Church started a Sunday school in the Hudson-Sterling neighborhood of Elkhart. They rented a house on Moyer Ave, and the first classes were held on June 23, 1929. Soon more than 100 children and adults were participating, and larger facilities were needed. An abandoned church building from Harrison Township was purchased and moved in sections to the corner of Oxford, Ren, and Belmont Streets. Worship services began here, and in 1949 Belmont Mennonite Church became an independent congregation. We now meet one block west of the first church building at 925 Oxford Street.
This vibrant congregation consists of all ages, including many young families and children, a variety of occupations, and represents Elkhart, Goshen, and the surrounding areas. BMC has an average Sunday morning attendance of around 100. Mandy Yoder and Phil Schmidt serve as the pastoral team.
BMC is a member of Mennonite Church USA and Indiana-Michigan Mennonite Conference.
