Mount Olivet Mennonite Church (Huron, South Dakota, USA)
Mount Olivet Mennonite Church, located at 638 Lincoln Ave. SW, Huron, SD, was organized on 17 July 1945, under the Evangelization Board of the Northern District Conference (General Conference Mennonite Church) with 17 charter members. On 12 May 1946 this congregation joined the General Conference. In 1956 the church had a membership of 85, and was building a new church and parsonage. Four ministers had served the church to 1957 in the following order: Jacob A. Friesen, Alfred Regier, B. J. Nickel, and Vernon Buller.
In the 1990s Mount Olivet withdrew from the conference and continued as an independent Mennonite Church.
