Mennonites are a Christian 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. Mennonites believe in the centrality and inspiration of the Bible and in Jesus Christ as the only One sent by God to bring reconciliation between the Creator and a lost and broken world. Mennonites believe peace-building is an achievable way of life. Because God is loving and just, Mennonites feel called to live lives that reflect this reality.
Mennonites have become increasingly recognized as leaders in the art of conflict resolution, even on an international scale. Mennonites have been involved in helping differing groups or factions talk to each other in places like East Africa, Northern Ireland and Central America. Mennonites were also involved in some of the early developments in offender-victim reconciliation organizations in Canada and the United States, and the promotion of restorative justice as a way of responding to criminal and antisocial activity.
In an era of mass marketing, uncontrolled consumerism, loneliness, and growing violence, we are working to create a sense of community for ourselves and our neighbors in light of Gods Word. You are welcome to join us. We are not a closed group. We believe that the best response to cynicism, doubt, and isolation, is to invite both friends and strangers to share the burdens and joys of life together, in Christ's Community.
WE ARE RICH IN HISTORY AT NORTH CENTRAL CONFERENCE
North Central Conference (NCC) was formed in 1920 as families were moving into the north central states for farming opportunities. Later churches were planted in Northern Minnesota by several families from Eastern Pennsylvania. Today there are 13 churches relating to NCC. 4 in Eastern Montana, 2 in North Dakota, 3 in Minnesota, and 4 in Wisconsin. We are exploring other church planting opportunities in the areas.
