Administrative history: The Hanover Mennonite Fellowship began mid-week services in 1961. The first meeting was held November 22, 1961 in the home of Albert Grove. Amos Martin of Glen Allen brought the message; seven persons were present.
In December 1963 the group began to meet in a chapel that was part of the Sam Shantz home and had been renovated for worship. In May 1967 construction began on the church building at 172 5th St. in Hanover; it was dedicated in April 1968.
In 1975 the congregation began a fellowship in Chesley, Ontario. For nineteen years the Hanover-Chesley Fellowship had two meetingplaces with one pastor and one organization. They met separately for Sunday worship and Sunday School. In 1995 the two groups agreed to proceed as separate congregations.
Pastoral leadership has been provided by Amsey Martin, Elvin Burkholder, John Atkinson, Arthur Byer, Ernie Martin, Maurice Martin, Wayne Nafziger, Winston Martin and Anita Janzen.
Custodial history: Accessions have been received from time to time, with some materials coming almost annually.
Scope and Content: The fonds consists of formal and informal church records, and church bulletins.
