Emmanuel Mennonite

Core Values

We believe that the church's mission is to make disciples of all nations. To that end, we wish to extend the kingdom of God through worship, education, care of one another, discipleship and witness in proclamation and deed.

In our life together as a congregation, we have identified three core values:

Community is defined by Jesus who calls us together.  It is the work of God in our lives to transform us—to give us a new heart and a new way of living in peace with others.  Our definition of community cannot stop at the church doors.

Having Global Perspective means that we are engaged also with the wider community and world concerns in our prayers and actions. Our engagement is “out there”—and it is also “in here” as a multi-cultural/multi-ethnic congregation. Caring for all God’s creation is a vibrant part of this global perspective.

To be Anabaptist means committing to Jesus as the centre of our Christian faith and life, putting our faith in action by following the way and words of Jesus.  It is a way of life expressed in discipleship, community, and peace.
