At Douglas Mennonite Church, we are committed to being a faith community where everyone is valued and supported on their faith journey.

​

As a church community, we strive to embody the core values of love, compassion, and service that are central to the Mennonite tradition. Our worship services are designed to be meaningful and engaging, blending traditional elements with contemporary insights to nourish your spirit and deepen your connection with God.

​

Our worship gatherings are held Sunday morning at 10:00 AM. Children and youth spend the first part of the worship service with the congregation before being dismissed prior to the sermon to participate in their own children’s church or youth Sunday School.

​

Whether you are exploring Christianity for the first time or have been a follower of Jesus for many years, there is a place for you here. We are an inter-generational congregation, united by our shared desire to grow in faith and make a positive impact in our world.

​

We invite you to join us for worship, fellowship, and opportunities to serve together. Explore our website to learn more about our ministries, events, and ways to get involved. If you have any questions or would like to connect with any of our pastoral staff, please do not hesitate to reach out.
