Mennonite Schools -- Christ-Centered, Educational Excellence, Community, Peace and Service, Opportunities
Description
Mennonites hold many common core beliefs and value their history as a people of God. Their beliefs in God and Jesus Christ link them with other Christian denominations. However, Mennonites live out God's call in some ways that make them distinct. Worshipping as a community of believers and studying the Bible to listen to what God is saying to the church today are very important to Mennonites. They also believe that the church is called by God to share the good news of Jesus in word and deed, showing others a glimpse of what life is like under God's rule.
Mennonites practice adult (or believer's) baptism. Baptism symbolizes God's forgiving grace and the beginning of a new life in Christ. At baptism people make a public commitment to obey Christ's teachings and identify with a local Christian church.
Mennonites believe that Jesus, when he lived on earth, revealed a way for people to live peacefully and nonviolently. The commitment to the way of peace and reconciliation leads Mennonites to contribute to country and community in ways other than participating in military service.
