Beaverdam Mennonite Church (Corry, Pennsylvania, USA)The Beaverdam Mennonite Church (Mennonite Church USA) is located near Corry, Erie County, Pennsylvania. In 1940 members of the Britton Run congregation, 15 miles (25 km) south, organized a Sunday school in the village of Beaver Dam where a group of Mennonites were beginning a settlement on account of soil and atmospheric conditions favorable for growing potatoes. Ivan W. Miller, extensive potato grower from Wayne County, Ohio, had a prominent part in the development of the settlement. Lewis Kletzly, formerly of Britton Run, was one of the early workers. Jacob Weirich was the pastor until 1951, followed by Kenneth Snyder. In 2006 the pastor was Jay Conn. The 1953 membership was 95; in 2003 it was 134.
