You may recall that childhood rhyme, where you clasped your hands together with forefingers extended:Here's the churchOpen the doorAnd see all the people.At Covenant Mennonite Church, the description still fits. We have a church, a steeple, a door, and- inside- a friendly group of people. We invite you to 'open the door' to worship and fellowship with us. Located in Winkler, Manitoba, we are a small congregation with a close sense of community. We enjoy children.and rhymes.and faith seekers of all ages.In Finding Faith, Brian McLaren has written: '.faith is the doorway into spirituality and the primary means of connecting with God.'Ultimately, the door we need to open is one of faith. And the people we see are not just sitting in a sanctuary, but those doing God's work --every day of the week and in every walk of life.Open the door. We'd like to get to know you.
The mission of this church, as an expression of the universal Church and as an instrument of the Holy Spirit, is to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to people in Canada and around the world through the proclamation of the Word, the administration of the Sacraments and through service in Christs name.
We believe in God as eternal Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God created and sustains the universe. The eternal purpose of God the Father is to create a people who will bring glory to God forever. God alone is worthy of worship.We believe that God became human in Jesus Christ. Jesus came to restore the world because humans have rejected God in disobedience. Jesus taught and modeled the way of God's kingdom. he died on the cross, making it possible for us to accept a renewed relationship with God. He rose from the dead, broke the power of sin and death, and frees us to live in obedience to God's will.We believe that God the Holy Spirit invites all people to be reconciled with God and to join the global family of faith. Believers confess their faith, are baptized, and join in the celebration of the Lord's Supper. Through the power of the Holy Spirit and guided by the Bible, members of the church seek to live as followers of Christ and invite others to experience this new life.
