Martins Creek Mennonite Church is nestled in the heart of Ohio’s Amish Country, between Berlin and Millersburg. The church was founded in 1865 when a group of twenty-four individuals made the bold decision to leave the Amish Church. Over the past 160 years, Martins Creek has grown to a vibrant community of around 300 members who are committed to living out the core values of the early Church: Discipleship, Fellowship, Worship, Outreach, and Prayer (Acts 2:42–47).

Our passion has always been to actively advance the kingdom of God—locally and globally. In the last seventy-five years, we helped launch six church plants and we consistently give over a quarter of our offerings to ministries that reflect the love of Jesus through their work in local, regional, and international communities.

We place a strong emphasis on outreach, offering practical support like classes and mentoring for those facing spiritual, financial, emotional, or relational challenges. Discipleship is also at the heart of our mission and we provide opportunities for people to deepen their understanding of God’s Word and apply it to everyday life. Our congregation is made up of caring individuals who foster an inviting, grace-filled environment where people can encounter the love of Jesus.

A recent example of this compassion in action is our support of the Horkovchuk’s, a refugee family from Ukraine who lost their husband/father in the war. Over the past two years, our church has come alongside them, paving a way for them to come to our community while providing a safe place where they can emotionally heal and spiritually thrive.

Like many churches, we face the ongoing challenge of staying relevant to younger generations. Yet we remain steadfast in our identity and purpose, determined to share the love of Christ authentically—serving as his hands and feet in ways that transform both our church family and the wider community. We have been dually affiliated with both LMC and Evana since 2017 and deeply value the leadership, vision, and mission each organization embodies.
