Stauffer Mennonite
The Stauffer Mennonites, or "Pikers", are a group of Old Order Mennonites. They are also called "Team Mennonites", because they use horse drawn transportation. In 2015 Stauffer Mennonite had 2010 adult members.〔(Mennonite World Conference: Membership 2015 )〕
== History ==
The original church was founded in 1845 when a split occurred in the Lancaster Mennonite Conference in Lancaster County, PA. The more conservative group formed a new church called Piker Mennonites because their meeting house stood near an old turnpike. In 1916 the original "Pikers" split into the Stauffer Mennonites and the group around bishop John A. Weaver, called Weaver Mennonites, who are less conservative. The schism from the Bowman group in Pennsylvania was about the extent of shunning and divided the congregation 101 to 102.
Today the name "Stauffer Mennonite" in a broad sense can refer to at least nine different groups, all descending from the church that was founded in 1845. The groups are named after the bishop who founded the group: Jacob Stauffer, Phares Stauffer, Joseph Brubaker, Noah Hoover, Titus Hoover, Aaron Martin, Allen Martin, Martin Weaver, and Jonas Weaver groups. Today the Noah Hoovers are mostly counted as a separate group.
In general all of these groups hold to orthodox Mennonite beliefs, strictly Plain dress and forbid cars and modern farm machinery. Shunnig is practised in a stricter way than among other Old Order Mennonite groups.〔(Stauffer Mennonite Church ) in ''Global Anabaptist Mennonite Encyclopedia Online''〕
