Discernment at Gathering 2025

By Gathering 2025 release

As part of encouraging ongoing discernment, during and following Gathering 2025, early “snapshots” of the shared reflections have been compiled under the guidance of a Listening Committee. These initial themes and insights are not final—they may evolve as the community continues to engage and Mennonite Church Canada analyze more deeply what was shared.

We invite you to be part of this continuing journey. If these early impressions spark new thoughts or ideas, please share them by emailing: listening@mennonitechurch.ca

 We have one month left to reach our Global Companionship goals for this year.  

We are inviting your support for an additional $48,000 by the end of March!

Why Global Companionship?  

The goal of mission is not primarily aid (humanitarian assistance); it’s not even partnership. We engage in mission to establish friendships that lead to the formation of a new people in the world... If we are in Christ, we have become part of a new creation.
