About Seattle Mennonite Church
Seattle Mennonite is a vibrant Anabaptist
congregation drawn from the entire Puget Sound area. We believe
that faith and action are inseparable elements in each person's
pilgrimage, so spiritual nurture is that which nourishes
us that we might reach out in service to others. Seattle
Mennonite strives to express "shalom", the peace and wholeness
of God, through discipleship and the caring of our faith
community.
Seattle Mennonite was formed in 1968 and a Mennonite Voluntary
Service unit soon followed in 1970. The group grew as many
VSers fell in love with the Northwest, deciding to stay after
completion of their term of service. Others joined as they
came to Seattle to further their education. Our worshipping
community brings together many from a Mennonite background,
but also from a variety of religious traditions. In 1993 we
renovated an old movie theater to use as our place of worship.
We now have an active children's and youth ministry, small
groups, a wide variety of musical groups, and prolific quilters.
Our outreach ministries include the MVS unit, a Ten Thousand Villages store, and a growing community ministry program.
