Mt. Hermon Mennonite Church sat on a hill beside Route 259, near the West Virginia–Virginia line in southeastern Hardy County. Mennonite work at the site began in 1937, with the small wood-frame meetinghouse serving the rural farming community in the surrounding hills.

Beginning in the late 1940s, Linden Wenger and his family lived near the church and Linden served as pastor for many years. Other ministers served the congregation across the decades that followed. When the three nearby congregations — Mt. Hermon, Cullers Run, and Buckhorn — voted to merge in the early 1970s and form Mathias Mennonite Church, regular services at Mt. Hermon ended.

The original building did not disappear. After the merger, it was converted into a private residence and remains in use as a home today. Visitors traveling along Route 259 can spot the structure but should respect the privacy of its current occupants.
