About Us

About Us

We are a growing church community,
that is learning to live and love like Jesus.

Life can be busy, problematic, and hard. Other times, life is full of joy, success, and wins. We believe that life is lived best with others in community. It is our desire to be a community of friends that are real with ourselves, others, and the world around us. We want to be there for each other, both with encouragement and celebration. East Petersburg Mennonite Church is a growing church community that is learning to live and live like Jesus in our neighborhoods and spheres of influence.

We value worship, community,
and mission.

As a growing church community, we hold to three values that shape and define who we are and what we pursue together. Those three values are worship, community, and mission.

  • We value worship; by continually focusing on and surrendering to god’s character which transforms our individual lives and relationships.
  • We value community; as an extended family of Jesus/followers celebrating together, encouraging each other, and investing in the lives of others. 
  • We value mission; while being led by the Holy Spirit we demonstrate the goodness of God’s love, peace, and healing to our neighbors.

Invest locally,
Collaborate Regionally,
Send Globally.

There is no way for us as a growing church community to do or be everything. We can only do what we are called and equipped to do. Our calling is to invest locally, while working with other church communities and ministries to collaborate regionally and to send globally, both people and resources – all to proclaim the Kingdom of God to the ends of the earth. Our church community belongs to a network of Anabaptist churches known as LMC.

We are real people,
with real stories and real God encounters.

East Petersburg Church has been in the neighborhoods of East Petersburg since 1720. We encourage you to get to know our story as a church community. Explore what we believe about God and what God expects of us, or perhaps learn more about who we are as Mennonites. We encourage you to meet our committed team of staff and leaders.
