Overview

Our diverse staff works with a variety of non-traditional, ethnic-based Mennonite congregations in providing connections between them and Mennonite Church USA structures as well as consultation on ministry-related issues. In consultation with church leadership in area conferences, countries of origin and U.S.-based ethnic associations, here are some of the typical resources provided:

• Building bridges between congregations, the Mission Network, area conferences and mission committees.

• Translating strategic materials into other languages.

• Organizing conferences on multicultural, ministry-related issues.

• Providing consultation and networking on the international mission efforts of U.S.-based immigrant congregations to their countries of origin.

• Educating Mennonite Church USA congregations about its multicultural nature and the gifts and needs of congregations from different cultural streams.

• Providing consultation in anti-racist strategies for missional congregations.
