Together we are...
...Growing
          First Mennonite Church of Middlebury invites you to join with us in a journey as we continue to learn what it means to follow Jesus in these times and in this place. With a ministry in Middlebury for one hundred years, First Mennonite Church is working to change and grow with our rapidly expanding community. We are a congregation with a rich heritage. We also anticipate the challenges of a new century. As we open our hearts to the movement of God’s spirit we rejoice in the arrival of new life in our midst.

...Worshiping 
          Our worship blends both contemporary and traditional music, and occasional dramas. We place an emphasis on community and take time to listen to the joys and challenges we each experience on our individual journeys.

...Sharing
          Wednesday night fellowship meals, all-church carry-ins, an annual picnic, children’s clubs, Prime Timers (for older adults) and Mennonite Women also help us build community life.

...Learning
          There are many opportunities to learn about the journey with Jesus. An active Christian education program is available for all ages-—from nursery to older adult. Vacation Bible School helps keep the momentum going. In addition, a Bible memory program encourages children (and adults too!) to memorize scriptures that provide encouragement in the journey.
          We value the importance of ministry to youth through a strong support structure for our middle-and high-school students. Youth participate in regular Bible studies and social events, take part in a variety of service projects and attend the bi-annual national Mennonite Youth Conventions.

...Serving and Peacemaking
          As part of the historic peace-church movement, we believe there are many opportunities to share God’s love in a broken world. So we work to share the message of Chirst’s peace through global and local mission. We actively support Mennonite Board of Missions workers in Nepal, Israel, Argentina and Benin.
          First Mennonite is also active in local ministry through the Middlebury Community Food Pantry, the Pleasant Oaks Preschool, and through such programs as La Casa and Goldenrod.
