Beth-El Mennonite Church (Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA)

Beth-El Mennonite Church (Mennonite Church USA), Colorado Springs, Colorado, was organized in October 1956 and in 1959 had 43 members with Paul Wittrig as pastor. The congregation temporarily met at the Knob-Hill Community Center.

The laying of the corner stone for the new church building occurred on 18 December 1960. The parsonage (now the Fellow Center) was also built in 1963. In 1999 the church purchased the property at 4625 Ranch Drive for a new building that was completed in 2006.
