Our Heritage - Stumptown Mennonite Church

Our Anabaptist Mennonite Heritage & Faith

We believe that baptism is a public confession of sin and shows a desire to repent and accept Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. It is for those who are of the age of accountability.

We believe that communion helps us remember the sacrifice and suffering of Jesus. We believe that footwashing is a symbol of humility and servanthood.

We believe that the sacredness of marriage is a lifelong commitment and can only happen in the context of one woman married to one man under God’s blessing and direction.

We believe that witness through proclamation and lifestyle are both important, as is service to others both inside and outside the faith community.

We value our connection to the large Mennonite Church including Lancaster Conference and the international Mennonite World Conference. It is our goal to support the confession, mission, vision and the institutions of the Mennonite Church .
