We are a community of Christians who identify with the Anabaptist faith tradition. Rooted in the love of Christ, we welcome each one here today—we welcome your mind, body, and spirit; we welcome your faith and your doubts; your joys and your sorrows. Wherever you come from, whatever your age, and whomever you love… Whoever you are, you are welcome and affirmed here.
At University Mennonite Church we’re committed to removing the barriers that separate us, and we welcome you as we gather in worship, fellowship, and service. We believe a Christ-centered church should be a place of belonging for all people, and we welcome your faith as well as your doubt.
We value and respect the unique contributions each person brings to the body of Christ. We recognize the sacred worth and dignity of all people and celebrate the image of God in our diversity. All are welcomed, just as they are—regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, ability, physical and mental health, education, and economic or marital status.
