Administrative history

This congregation, affiliated with the (old) Mennonite Church and later Mennonite Church USA, appears to have begun as a mission church in the late 1930s in the Buffalo, N. Y. region. Known as Harding Avenue Mennonite Church, it existed as an unincorporated church until 1969, when it took the name Mennonite Church of Amherst, New York.

In the early 1980s, the congregation changed its name to Harris Hill Mennonite Fellowship and appears to have moved from Amherst to Williamsville.

The congregation dissolved in 2011.
