Peace Fellowship
A house church of Anabaptists: Located in the Inland Empire of Southern California


    Description



    Peace Fellowship is a Mennonite congregation also affiliated with the Bretheren in Christ Church.

        Like first century Christians, we meet in homes for worship and breaking bread together. Leadership is shared. Peace Fellowship identifies with the Anabaptist traditions of discipleship as following Jesus daily in life, in the way of the cross, as the practice of nonviolence, in concrete service and love of neighbor as the genuine expression of love of God.

        We meet on Sunday evenings to be available to those who may participate in morning congregations but wish to experience an intentional small group church life.


 

Our History


Peace Fellowship began in 1988 as a Mennonite Church providing an alternative to traditional sanctuary-style worship and church life. It is a part of a worldwide stream of home-based churches that seeks the simplicity of returning to a first century church style of "the church coming home".
In 1995 Peace Fellowship added an affiliation with the Brethren in Christ Church for dual membership and the support of ministries of both denominations.

The Mennonite Church, one of the original peace churches, is the continuing church community of the Anabaptist movement which began in 1525. Neither Catholic nor Protestant, it was the first free church (non state church) of the Reformation that sought restitution of the New Testament church rather than reformation of the existing state church traditions. The Mennonite Church teaches radical commitment to following the way of Jesus as most clearly taught in the Sermon on the Mount. Mennonites prize the practices of service, mutual aid, authentic witness, nonviolence, reconciliation and concern for the poor. Mennonite churches surround the globe.
