Outside our region?
We’ll help you find your people, wherever you are
Central District Conference is rooted in Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, and Wisconsin, plus communities that gather online. If you’re elsewhere, you’re still welcome to reach out to us, and these partners across Mennonite Church USA would also love to connect.
Mennonite Mission Network
Chris Scott, Facilitator for Emerging Faith Communities, walks with folks imagining and creating new ways of being the church, especially people starting new communities, across the U.S. Chris leads much of Mennonite Church USA’s denominational work with church planting and is developing more supports for new communities at the denominational level. He’s also helping as CDC develops a training cohort for emerging community leaders.
Mennonite Church USA
MC USA supports new peace churches across the country.
Another area conference
Mennonite Church USA has area conferences across the country, from the Atlantic Coast to the Pacific Northwest. Each has leaders who care about new and renewing communities in their region.
