We look forward to seeing you at our 2026 gathering in Albany, Oregon, June 25-28! The PNMC Annual Meeting is the one wonderful time each year that we come together in person from across the broad geographic sweep of our conference. During these days of fellowship, worship, learning, play and mutual discernment we nurture the health and wellbeing of our vibrant community, and with God’s help we inspire our common ministry in the world. This gathering is open to all. We hope you can join us!

For 2026, we are grateful to be hosted by the Albany Mennonite congregation, together with the support of Corvallis Mennonite Fellowship. Our theme is “Seeking Unity Through Nonconformity,” We chose this theme as a way to explore together what it means to be followers of the Way of Jesus in these times of great turbulence, violence and upheaval in our global human community. How are we called to bear witness, with our whole lives, to the Way of Christ in the world today? How does this Way call us to move beyond many of the ideologies and entrenched positions that too often keep people apart from one another? In what ways does Christ’s Love call us to live in nonconformity with the patterns and structures of the society in which we live?

To help us reflect on this theme, we will ground ourselves in a passage of scripture that has long been a centering text for Anabaptist Christians: The Sermon on the Mount (or, as it is described in the Gospel of Luke, “The Sermon on the Plain”). The words of Luke 6:17-47 will guide us as we listen also for what 16th century Anabaptist Hans Denck described as the “inward Word of God” that speaks in the depths of our listening hearts.

You will hear sermons from Dwight Friesen (Professor of Applied Theology at the Seattle School of Theology & Psychology), Rachel Ringenberg Miller (Denominational Minister of Church Vitality for Mennonite Church USA), and Rachael Weasley (Pastor of Community of Hope Church in Bellingham, WA). You will join in a wide variety of rich seminars, and we will gather in communal discernment and dialog in our plenary sessions. And we will sing and play and break bread together! Come join us! The program and logistics committee have been at work pulling ideas together for this year’s gathering. We hope you will join us in the beautiful Willamette Valley!

Mark your calendars: June 25-28, 2026!
