Limon Mennonite Church (Limon, Colorado, USA)The Limon Mennonite Church (Mennonite Church USA), a member of the Central Plains Mennonite Conference (formerly Rocky Mountain Mennonite Conference), was organized on 10 September 1922 with 19 charter members, and grew in nine years to 118 members (1931). Thereafter the membership declined, due in part to drought conditions, until in 1954 the membership was only 36, with Valentin Swartzendruber serving as pastor. Until 1925 the congregation met in a schoolhouse eight miles southwest of Limon. In that year a new church was dedicated a mile north of the schoolhouse, but later (ca. 1947) the building was moved into the town of Limon. The church, located at 725 Michigan Ave. in Limon, closed ca. 2000.
