Anabaptist, (from Greek ana, “again”) member of a radical movement of the Protestant Reformation and spiritual ancestor of modern Baptists, Mennonites, and Quakers. The movement’s most distinctive tenet was adult baptism. In its first generation, converts submitted to a second baptism, which was a crime punishable by death under the legal codes of the time. Members rejected the label Anabaptist, or Rebaptizer, for they repudiated their own baptism as infants as a blasphemous formality. They considered the public confession of sin and faith, sealed by adult baptism, to be the only proper baptism. Following the Swiss Reformer Huldrych Zwingli, they held that infants are not punishable for sin until they become aware of good and evil and can exercise their own free will, repent, and accept baptism.

Peace Mennonite Community Church was founded in 1987. We are a warm, friendly community church, with many fellowship activities to encourage participation and connection with each other and with Christ. Our Sunday School meetings and our worship services are always firmly grounded in Scripture. Our members actively work with the pastor to create our services and classes, and as a result we have a very inclusive and participatory church. We are always happy to meet newcomers and will strive to make you feel comfortable and right at home!
When you arrive, you will find that our members are dressed fairly informally. Children are welcome to participate in the service, and we have a nursery for ages 0-2. Children are a welcome and valuable part of our services as we include them with children's stories, performing special music, and in many ways that makes them feel valued.
