The first denomina-tion in Germantown were the Mennonites. sometimescalled German Friends. There were also a few familieswho it appears adhered to the teachings of the EnglishFriends who could come together and worship God andlisten to the Word as expounded by their leaders. Thereis evidence that there was a building erected for publicworship by these sturdy pioneers in Germantown as earlyas 1686. In one of his letters to Europe Pastonus says:Wir haben allhier %u Germantown Am. 1686 eln Kirch-lein fiir die Gemeinde gebauet—We built here in Ger-mantown in the year 1686 a small church tor the commu-nity. Of this the late Henry S. Dotterer wrote: It wasbuilt for the Gemeinde (the community).
