Mennonite missions began in the Republic of Ireland in 1978, extending to Northern Ireland (part of the United Kingdom) in 1987.

Beginning in the 1990s, workers in both the Republic and the North focused on reconciliation and peace ministries, including developing a reconciliation studies program for the Irish School of Ecumenics (Belfast) and Trinity College (Dublin), and working in a cross-community (Protestant and Catholic) project of a Methodist church in West Belfast.

Recently, Mennonite ministry has focused on providing Youth Venture teams and Radical Journey teams to a variety of church partner organizations.

Jenna and Peter work with the Edgehill Theological College Reconciliation and Integration Partnership Project.
