We are a church of young adults, young families, and the young at heart. Since its beginning the congregation has grown from a handful of people to its present size, about 110 people. Like many city churches, North Baltimore is a diverse group culturally, spiritually, politically, and theologically. Although “Mennonite” might bring to mind images of rural people in horses and buggies, our people a
re more comfortable in cars or on public transit. We are more likely to be found working in offices, hospitals, law offices or classrooms than on farms. What we share in common is a desire to know and serve Jesus Christ, who laid down his life for us and calls us to lay down our lives for each other. Mennonites share many beliefs in common with other Christians: a belief in God as Trinity; in the Bible as God’s unique revelation; in the new birth in which Jesus forgives us and gives us a powerful new life; and in the local church as the gathering of God’s people in the world. Mennonites carry a deep commitment to a life of service, nonviolence and the way of peace in following Jesus. As one person has said, “When Jesus said ‘Love your enemies’, we believe he meant what he said and was talking to us!”
Whether you are full of faith or full of questions, there is a place for you here. Join us for worship; stick around after for food and conversation; come as you are, and expect that if you stay you will be changed by the living God! North Baltimore Mennonite Church welcomes the full participation and membership of all gender identities and sexualities. We have Christian Education classes for ages 3+ every Sunday morning at 9:30am from September to June. Our Worship Service is held every Sunday at 10:30am during the school year and at 10am during the summer. And we have several Fellowship Groups who meet throughout the week for Bible Study, discussion, and friendship.
