Part of a Broader Church
We are part of Mennonite Church USA, one of several Anabaptist Mennonite denominations with members in about 700 congregations scattered across the United States. We are also part of Mountain States Mennonite Conference, an area conference of Mennonite Church USA, comprised of 20 congregations in Colorado and New Mexico.
Mennonites believe
Jesus is the center of our faith
Community is the center of our lives
Reconciliation is the center of our work
Mennonites are heirs of the Anabaptist movement in 16th-century Europe that believed following Jesus (among other things) requires the rejection of a church-state symbiosis, the use of coercion, and governmental and military power systems. It encourages voluntary adult membership, active peacemaking, restorative justice, respect for creation and simplicity. Along with the Friends (Quakers) and the Church of the Brethren we represent the historic peace church tradition in North America. We are also part of a larger world-wide community of nearly 1.6 million who gather under the umbrella of Mennonite World Conference.
