  . . . From an Anabaptist Perspective

Adapted from Being God's People:
Embracing Faith from a Mennonite Perspective,
by Ervin Stutzman  (p. 710, 1998)

  • We seek to make following Jesus Christ the highest priority in every part of our lives
  • We seek to grow spiritually and to have a regular devotional life with God, including Bible study & prayer
  • We seek to contribute our spiritual gifts through active involvement in our church's various ministries
  • We seek to be regular Sunday morning attenders: to worship God, to build community, and to be empowered for mission & service
  • We seek to practice faithful stewardship both to this congregation and to our larger Mennonite programs 
  • We seek to be a people of peace: to agree and disagree in love, and to "stay current" on our giving and receiving of forgiveness
  • We seek to build close friendships in this congregation and to be a member of a small group
  • We seek to invite new people to our church and to practice hospitality with visitors
  • We seek to pray for our church, our leaders, and our ministries
