Mennonites

Pacific Northwest Mennonite Conference is one of the regional grouping of congregations in the Mennonite Church USA denomination.

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, along with peacemaking. Menno Simons was an early prominent leader and eventually the group became known as “Mennonites” because of his name.

About

Welcome to the Pacific Northwest Mennonite Conference. Made up of Mennonite congregations in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Alaska, and Montana. We seek to connect Anabaptist congregations with the leaders, skills, and resources they need to be authentic witnesses to Christ in their communities. We help congregations through pastoral transitions and in planning for their future. We provide opportunities for both lay leaders and pastors to gain new skills and strengthen their ministries. We do this by working together, learning from one another, and sharing with each other. We hope that through our congregations God’s healing and hope shown in Jesus will flow through us to our world.
