What unites us is not an ethnic or cultural heritage (as much as many of us love to wait in line for “all you can eat” verenkje!); rather we’ve been transformed into a new way of life by our faith in Jesus Christ experienced through the powerful indwelling of the Holy Spirit. We have been changed, and our primary allegiance now is to is Christ’s Kingdom and his global church.

Since Jesus is the only way of salvation, we place a high value on being an active witness in our world. The church is called to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them and teaching them to observe all his commandments.  As a result of our outreach efforts, our largest MB Conferences are now in India and the Democratic Republic of Congo!

We believe the Bible is the authoritative word of God, and our interpretation of Scripture is Christ-centered.  The person, teaching, and life of Jesus Christ brings continuity and clarity to both the Old and New Testaments.

The mission of Jesus was to reconcile humans with God, each other, and the world.  Peace and reconciliation are at the heart of the Gospel.  We choose to live in a way that nurtures wholeness, joy, and peace.  Instead of hating our enemies and ignoring neighbors, we seek love and justice to all.

We believe that to be the best versions of ourselves, God designed us humans to need community!  As MBs we are committed to helping and supporting each other.  We care for one another, pray together, hold each other accountable, have fun together, and study God’s Word together.  We need each of our gifts, voices, and passions to be the body of Christ.
