Landisville Mennonite Church is a congregation of approximately 345 members and belongs to the Landisville District of the Lancaster Mennonite Conference.  Mennonites began worshipping as a group in the Landisville area in 1721, about 11 years after the earliest Mennonites arrived here.

During the first years, worship occurred in homes of church members.  The first official meeting-house was the log structure which still stands.  It was likely built between 1740 and 1756 and is one of the oldest meeting houses standing in its original location in the country.  Members worshipped in three other churches on the same grounds as the log church prior to moving into the present building in 1996.
