“We value natural and reduced sounds combined with electronic elements in our music (mostly sung in German),” says Dennis Thielmann. Musical influences include world music, monastic traditions and sound therapy “We also try to use the musical form and staging to shape kingdom-of-God values such as simplicity, gratitude, authenticity, inclusion, patience, sustainability and global awareness.”

Join our anniversary campaign

Marking 100 years of living out unity in MWC through photos, music, trees, and more

Following Jesus, living out unity, building peace— It is the new tagline for the mission we’ve always carried as Anabaptists.

This is a momentous year with two anniversaries for Mennonite World Conference: 500 years of the Anabaptist movement and 100 years of MWC: a communion of Anabaptist-related churches linked to one another in a worldwide community of faith for fellowship, worship service, and witness.

As an organization—a koinonia—we exist to facilitate relationships with each other, growing our Anabaptist faith and relating to other communions.

Mennonite World Conference has announced the theme and dates for its 2028 global assembly in Ethiopia: “Christ Unites Us,” Jan. 11-15.
“January was chosen due to the climate and holidays,” said Liesa Unger, MWC chief international events officer. “The assembly will be between Ethiopian Christmas and Epiphany celebrations.”
Assembly Scattered — tours with opportunities to visit Ethiopian congregations and more fully experience the region — will be offered Jan. 15-18.
The Global Youth Summit will take place concurrent with the assembly.
With more than 514,000 baptized members, Ethiopia’s Meserete Kristos Church is the world’s largest Anabaptist conference.
A National Advisory Council is planning the event, the 18th global assembly in MWC’s 100-year history.
