What We Do
Mennonite Church British Columbia (MCBC) is a faith community of Christian churches who are called by God to be followers of Jesus Christ and to grow, by the power of the Holy Spirit, as communities of grace, joy, and peace so that God’s healing and hope flow through us to the world.
Ministry: Centred on Jesus | Accomplished by Congregations
Our collective ministry is centred on Jesus who, by the Holy Spirit, works through our local, missional congregations. Our congregations both call us to particular ministries and provide the volunteer ministers to organize and do the work. MCBC’s collective ministry is organised around four key areas — cultivating Anabaptist vision, engaging God’s world, growing community, and congregational support. Each area has related ministry task groups and committees.
