As part of the FAMILY of U.S. Mennonite Brethren churches, the Central District churches have chosen their vision and motto of “Churches Partnering Together to Advance Christ’s Kingdom.” Annual pastors’ retreats, youth conferences and district conferences help to keep the churches and members of this district connected.
The Central District is a diverse district consisting of rural, inner-city, suburban, and ethnic churches (His
panic, Ethiopian, and Slavic) as well as one congregation on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Their vision is accomplished primarily through vigorous church planting efforts. Their newest Church plant, Christ Community Church, is located in Sioux Falls, SD where, as well as in their established churches, they are privileged to see people brought into a relationship with Christ. The focus in the future continues to be building healthy and reproducing churches and to continue church planting efforts.
