Community Life

Community is central to our experience of living faith.

 

Community life for us at DMC means gathering for regular worship, engagement with scripture, and opportunities for social gathering. We also build upon the Anabaptist traditions of nonviolence, social justice, and service to others. We seek to work for the common good and create community as a response to societal isolation and division. 

“The person who loves their dream of community will destroy community, but the person who loves those around them will create community.”

DIETRICH BONHOEFFER Pastor and Theologian Life Together

Reflection on becoming a Mennonite

Why did I become a Mennonite, when our culture abounds with so many Christian denominations? Anabaptist values and practices are unique, and are deeply attractive in a disconnected, cynical world. I believe they can offer hopeful guidance as we move into an uncertain future. Anabaptism represents a 500-year old tradition that embodies traits not often found in our culture today including, a consistent critique of empire; integrity in the face of suffering; sustained practice of restorative justice and radical forgiveness; a radical commitment to non-violence.
