Sunnyside Mennonite Church (Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA)

Sunnyside Mennonite Church, in a former suburb of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, began as a mission, initiated by David S. High. The first services were held in an abandoned dance hall with 71 from the community present. Through evangelistic sermons and home visitation the work grew until by 1957 the membership was 50, with David S. High, Witmer J. Barge, and Joseph C. Miller, Jr., as ministers.
