Evangelical mennonite conference email format

The Evangelical Mennonite Conference centres our faith, as does scripture, in Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord. As Evangelical, scripture is our final authority in faith and practice; we believe in Christ’s finished work on the cross; and live in discipleship based on Christ and scripture. As Mennonite, we follow Christ daily in life; baptize upon confession of faith; live our faith together as a church family; and express social concern, partly through a commitment to non-violence. As a Conference, we encourage our local churches, work together in evangelism and wider mission in Canada and the world. We are a conference with national boards, and a conference council (delegate assembly) that meets twice a year. In 2010 we had 7700 regular attenders in 62 churches. About 75 percent of our Conference budget goes toward church planting and mission work in Canada and elsewhere. There is an increasing rural to urban shift in membership and mission attention. EMC began in Russia in 1812 and the church migrated in 1874–1875 to North America. We are increasingly diverse in cultural and church backgrounds. Strengthening member churches so, together, we can impact Canada and the world.
