Fairbanks Church of God in Christ, Mennonite (Fairbanks, Texas, USA)
The Fairbanks Church of God in Christ Mennonite Church, now extinct, was organized in 1897 with 30 members by Henry A. Koehn. Peter A. Friesen and John Schlabach also served as pastors. This congregation was dissolved by 1906, although a few members remained longer. The Galveston flood of 1899, which destroyed their crops, contributed to the dissolution. Fairbanks is now part of the city of Houston.
