Description:

The Mennonite Church USA is an Anabaptist denomination with roots in the Radical Reformation of 16th century Europe. From its beginnings in mostly German-speaking parts of Europe, the Mennonite Church is growing rapidly in many parts of the world. In fact, more Mennonites currently reside in the southern hemisphere than in the northern. In the United States, people from various faith traditions, ethnicities, and nationalities are identifying with the vision and mission of Mennonite Church USA.

Mennonite Church USA was formed in 2002 by the merger of the General Conference Mennonite Church and the (old) Mennonite Church. Mennonite Church USA has nearly 100,000 adult members in nearly 900 congregations and 21 area conferences.

Mennonite Church USA Vision: God calls us to be followers of Jesus Christ and, by the power of the Holy Spirit, to grow as communities of grace, joy and peace, so that God’s healing and hope flow through us to the world.
