Church Profile
Raleigh Mennonite Church is an historic peace-church that seeks to make disciples through intergenerational
spiritual formation as we encounter God together through worship, the Bible, and one another.
As a Christian community, called to peacemaking and reconciliation, we affirm that people of any racial or
ethnic identity, sexual orientation, gender identity, ability, age, or economic status are welcome to full
participation in our congregation.
Currently, approximately 50-60 people attend most Sundays, including approximately 8-12 children, ranging in
age from 4-17, with more at the lower age range.
