The Tippecanoe settlement of the Groffdale Old Order Mennonite Conference began in Fulton and Marshall counties, Indiana in 1992 as a daughter settlement of the Elkhart County congregations. People moved to this area due to the shortage and high cost of available farmland in Elkhart County. As of 1 January 2011 the ministry in Fulton-Marshall included bishop Mark K. Ramer (ordained minister, 1998; bishop, 2005), ministers John M. Martin (ordained 1996), Earl W. Zimmerman (ordained 2006), and Lewis S. Ramer (ordained 2010), and deacon Jonathan R. Weaver (ordained 1999). These ministers and deacons alternated every Sunday in both meetinghouses. As of 1 January 2011 the settlement had approximately 58 households.
