The Mennonite Church is a Christian denomination that emerged from the Anabaptist movement in the 16th century. Known for their commitment to peace, community, and simple living, Mennonites emphasize the teachings of Jesus and the importance of following his example. They practice adult baptism and often live in close-knit communities, valuing mutual aid and service. Mennonites are recognized for their pacifism and nonviolent approach to conflict resolution. They engage in various social justice initiatives and humanitarian efforts, often working through organizations like Mennonite Central Committee. Their worship services typically include singing, prayer, and biblical teaching, reflecting their focus on faith and community life.
