Mennonites are: ChristiansWe believe in the lordship and saving grace of Jesus Christ. We yearn to grow more like Christ. We believe in the Triune God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. AnabaptistsWe are neither Catholic nor Protestant, but we share ties to those streams of Christianity. We cooperate as a sign of our unity in Christ and in ways that extend the reign of God's Kingdom on earth. We are known as Anabaptists? (not anti-Baptist) meaning "rebaptizers." Named after Menno Simons While we called ourselves Anabaptists? in the 1500s, others nicknamed us the Mennonites? after one of our early leaders, Menno Simons, a Catholic priest who aligned himself with the Anabaptists in 1536. The nickname stuck. And after 500 years, we're still known as the Mennonites. wikipedia.org/mennonites
