    • Go and share
      There are a lot of people to be reached yet. After COVID-19 and waiting for people to “come back” to church, we realize that many people are not coming back. This is the “new normal” not only in our church but in many other churches. Many churches are asking: how can we get more people […]
  • 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. Click to see more about Church Planting.
    • 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. Click to see more about Disciple-making.
    • 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.

Anabaptist World Fellowship Sunday

January 23

  • « Global Day of Prayer
  • Resilient Conference »

Each year, Mennonite World Conference encourages Anabaptist-related churches across the globe to use a common theme in a worship service to connect with our global Anabaptist family. Many churches choose to celebrate on the Sunday closest to 21 January (in 2022: January 23). On this date in 1525, the first baptism took place in Zurich, Switzerland.

Anabaptist World Fellowship Sunday (AWFS) is an opportunity to remind our communities of faith that we are all part of one body made up of many tribes, languages and nations (Revelation 7:9).

  • It is proclamation that now there is no discrimination among us on the basis of race, social status or gender (Galatians 3:28).
  • It is a demonstration that we are living a new life in a new society where we mutually support one another, carry those who suffer, serve the world and interdependently learn from one another what it means to follow Jesus.

On January 23, 2022, we celebrate that, in Christ, and by the power of the Holy Spirit, the cultural and national boundaries that separate us have been overcome by the cross.
