Who Are The Mennonites
Mennonites are an anabaptist faith group that began in the 16th century. Currently there are over one million members world-wide. Mennonite beliefs and practices vary widely, but following Jesus in daily life is a central value, along with peacemaking. Menno Simons was an early prominent leader and eventually the group became known as "Mennonites" because of his name. You can check out the following links for more information on the Mennonite Church and the Mennonite beliefs. We belong to the Lancaster Mennonite Conference.
