Visitors sometimes ask about the center of our faith.  This series of flyers  illustrates Seven Core Convictions Mennonites Share.  Click below to see the full statement of each conviction. Here is an introduction to the set:

These seven core convictions of faith were adopted at the 2003 Mennonite World Conference (MWC) assembly in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. MWC includes some 1.2 million Anabaptist Christians from all parts of the globe. Mennonite Church USA is a member of this world-wide body.

radical discipleship to Jesus Christ. Walking in his name, by the power of the Holy Spirit, we confidently await Christ’s return and the final fulfillment of God’s kingdom.
