Our Community

We are a diverse community that practices the receiving of Peace so that we can share Peace. Our congregation is made up of those who have called San Antonio home for a long time, and those who have just settled here after long journeys from Central and South America.

​

Our gatherings are informal but full of meaning. We don’t take ourselves all that seriously, but we take loving others very seriously.  We laugh and smile a lot, but recognize that we are participating in the profound mysteries of the Creator’s love.

​

Anabaptist Christians seek the transformation of suffering, oppression, and fear that springs from the world’s self-interested Empires, by engaging in the promise, healing, and peace that is found in God’s self-giving Kingdom. This happens internally and communally. Our community is thus engaged in intensive hospitality for the most vulnerable, but also has a daily gathering for prayer. We share our resources with many, but also study the ancient scriptures reverently.  We operate a full schedule in our building and hospitality house, but also maintain space for contemplative prayer and the spiritual disciplines.

 

As Mennonites in the Anabaptist movement, we participate in a long tradition of congregations where Jesus Christ is the center of faith, community is the center of life, and reconciliation is the center of work.
