History
In 1811, a congregation in West Donegal purchased land from Christian Longenecker and built a church along what is now Garber Road where it intersects with Bossler. Both a church and school were built at the same time. Its believed that the first building stood in front of Washington School. Later in the 1880s, the building was torn down and a new building was built where the current white framed building now stands. This building has been renovated several times since.
Before having a building in 1811, this congregation met in homes. The first recorded minister is John Mumma. Currently, Bossler is part of the Elizabethtown District with Clair Good as our bishop and Fred Garber as pastor.
In 2011, Bossler Mennonite Church will be celebrating 200 years. To commemorate the year, a celebration is being planned for August 13 & 14, 2011.
