The Mennonite Church believes in personal salvation through Jesus Christ like other main line Protestant denominations.  The key themes of the Mennonite Church include:

Community.  Worshiping as a community and studying the Bible to listen to what God is saying to the church today are important to Mennonites. We believe it is also important to share the news of Jesus in word and deed, showing others a glimpse of the way life can be when we follow God's way through Jesus.

Adult Baptism. Mennonites practice adult or "believer's" baptism. Baptism happens when a person understands the commitment they are making and usually occurs when a person is age 12 and older. At baptism, people make a public commitment to identify with and follow Jesus. The Mennonite church is in the Anabaptist tradition, which comes from the Greek words meaning "to re-baptize." The Mennonite church began when three members of the state church (who had been baptized as infants) re-baptized themselves in their own home. This act precipitated much persecution from the state church.

Peace and Love. Mennonites believe that during his life on earth Jesus revealed a way for people to live peacefully and nonviolently.

Helping Others. Mennonites aspire to follow the example and words of Jesus Christ in everyday life, including service to people in need.

Open to all. From the beginning, Mennonites have shared their faith and passion for Jesus with others. Mennonite churches are open to anyone who wants to live as Jesus taught.
