Providence Mennonite Church - 1958 - Collegeville, PA - Dated Architectural Structures Multifarious on Waymarking.com

The original Providence Mennonite Church was built in 1815. That building was razed and replaced by the current church in 1958. It was a former member of the Franconia Mennonite Conference. In 2002 the congregation became a charter member of the Alliance of Mennonite Evangelical Congregations.

Before the mid 20th century Mennonites were isolated from the material world. Since then many congregations became involved in the social, educational, and economic world. The Providence Mennonite Church reaches out to neighboring retirement homes to providing a meditation and music for the residents. They raise funds from the community to support mission projects in Peru and the food bank in Collegeville.
