Welcome

Neo-Monastic Anabaptist

We are a small Anabaptist-Mennonite church committed to following Jesus, the Servant of the LORD. We are located in the midtown area of Wichita, Kansas, in the heart of the city, where there is great need and great opportunity.

We are also a Neo-Monastic Anabaptist Community committed to radical and biblical spirituality, relational and accountable community, Christ's peace within and in the world.

This "manifesto" is a vision statement for MCS. It envisions MCS walking on the Path of Christ with both Anabaptists and Monastics. It is a proposal intended to invite conversation, critical reflection, and, if the spirit leads, adoption as a tentative guide for our life together.

The book will is available at Lulu.com for purchasing the booklet or e-book.

Our New Agreement

At our November 13 Church Life meeting John Stoesz, our moderator, recommended to the congregation on behalf of the Church Council, two things to help strengthen our witness. The two-fold recommendation was as follows:

(1) Each of us should be clear about the vision of our church and be able to communicate that vision with confidence.

(2) We should develop our ability to attract and retain people for whom our vision is good news.

After the discussion, all agreed to the two recommendations.
