- Barna Group estimates that about 70 percent of students entering college as Christians will leave with little to no faith. I don’t know about you, but that stirs a desire in me to help my kids develop a deep faith now that they won’t be likely to abandon when they leave home. The big question […]
- The Evangelical Church of the Mennonite Brethren of Angola (Igreja Evangelica dos Irmaos em Angola, IEIMA) works for the transformation of the community in nine of the 18 provinces with headquarters in Luanda, the capital city of Angola. There are 118 churches, mostly in the central and northern parts of the country, with around 15,000 […]
- CORRECTION: An earlier version of this article incorrectly referred to Ridgepoint’s church plant prospectus. In March 1943, 19 charter members organized First MB Church—now Ridgepoint Church—in Wichita, Kansas. Today, the 1,000-member congregation is birthing a church plant, SouthLife Church, in South Wichita. “Very few churches beyond 15- or 20-years old plant a campus or launch […]
- WHAT WE DO
- Church Multiplication
- Church planting continues to be a crucial area of ministry for USMB. Studies show churches are the most effective way to bring more people into the family of God. Partnering with local churches, districts, USMB and Multiply to plant churches, is not just a good thing to do, we must do it.Read More
- Disciple-Making
- USMB is actively involved in helping provide our churches with dynamic ideas, resources and programs for encouraging people to become fully-devoted followers of Jesus. Jesus said, “Go and make disciples….” We strive to facilitate that profound command. READ MORE about Disciple-making.Read More
- Leadership Development
- USMB’s leadership development strategy stems from the real need to actively develop more leaders within the local church who are living on mission in the workplace and in their communities and to fulfill the demand for additional pastors, church planters and missionaries.

Integrated Immigrant Ministries is now CORD. For more about the change, read this Christian Leader article.
Ecclesiastes 4:12 (ESV) "…a threefold cord is not quickly broken."
CORD is the umbrella term for USMB’s partnership with immigrant churches, including the CORD Program and the continued work of the CORD Committee, previously known as the Integrated Immigrant Council.
The CORD acronym describes USMB’s partnership with immigrant churches:
- Connecting immigrant churches to resources and other congregations within our MB family.
- Organizing and assisting with establishing a stable place of worship.
- Retooling through biblical training and educational resources centered around our USMB Confession of Faith.
- Developing pastors and key leaders capable of shepherding a healthy church.
USMB is committed to partnering with immigrant congregations. In a world where more than 270 million people are on the move, migration provides an opportunity for our USMB family to consider the mission of the Church. Increasingly, the mission is on U.S. soil.
The CORD Committee offers leadership and support for immigrant churches, including through a CORD initiative offering funding for three years for up to three vetted congregations.
At a cost of $55,500 per church, this initiative is funded primarily by congregations and individual partners.
Read more about this CORD initiative here. A seed invested in godly soil will produce a harvest for God's Kingdom!
THE FIRST CORD RECIPIENT
Donations to CORD will be multi-faceted and will provide funding for up to three vetted immigrant congregations, reimbursement for Henri Ngolo’s travel expenses in his work with immigrant churches, and other needs as they arise.
The first congregation to receive CORD funding is Christian Center the Hand of God in Hamilton, Ohio, led by pastor Hermann Mputu. Mputu’s congregation is bursting at the seams with a sanctuary built for 60 people and an average weekly attendance of 90. By giving to CORD, you can help fund not only the expansion of this congregation's building, but also ease Mputu’s workload and fund his continued training. Learn more about CCHG here.
