Mechanic Grove Mennonite Church (Mennonite Church USA), is a member of the Lancaster Conference, and is located near a small rural town by this name, four miles (6.5 km) south of Quarryville, Lancaster County, PA. When members began to move into this formerly Scottish-Irish area services were desired. In 1877 Amos Herr preached in the village. The 20 members in the fall of 1881 built a frame structure 46 x 35 ft., which served the congregation until 1949, when it was extensively remodeled and enlarged. In 1954 Abram D. Metzler and J. Harold Breneman were serving as ministers, with a membership of 149. In 1920 a schism occurred, led by John W. Swarr, a preacher who led the group into the General Conference Mennonite Church. This group, called the Calvary Mennonite Church, had 57 members in 1954.
In 2006 Mechanic Grove had 85 members; Jay L. Ranck served as pastor.
