Discover the global family on a fresh website. Users will find a new look when they visit starting 12 December 2024.
The expiry of old technology was the impetus for Mennonite World Conference to refresh the website on a new platform.
MWC’s website is a portal to a tool kit of information about our communion of Anabaptist churches.
Users can learn how to Get Involved by praying with us, donating, participating in the Global Church Sharing Fund.
They can learn more About MWC’s vision and mission, the General Council and can find MWC’s statements on living out solidarity with Indigenous Peoples, on conscientious objection and more.
They can explore Our Work through stories from around the world, the information about our Commissions, Young Anabaptists (YABs), Networks, Creation Care Task Force and the Francophone Network (Reseau Mennonite Francophone).
Our Resources library is one of the popular reasons to visit MWC’s website. Users can find all their worship resources, videos of webinars and songs, Courier magazine PDFs, Creation Care Task Force resources and more. The Resource library can be browsed according to resource type or theme.
Similarly, videos and information on past Assemblies are found in the main menu bar where newly released information on the upcoming Assembly will also appear.
Interchurch relations – one of the three pillars of MWC’s mission – is easy to find in the main menu.
Additionally, the site will have a new map with a dashboard that allows users to dig deeper into the information about baptized members, congregations and national member churches (to be revealed shortly).
One special new function of our refreshed website is a Submit a Prayer function.
“Praying for each other is one of the most immediate ways we can live out unity and build peace. We welcome your submission to share with the global family,” says César García, MWC general secretary.
“Our website helps to connect our members around the world as we follow Jesus together in our different locations,” says Kristina Toews, MWC Chief Communications Officer. “We are grateful to the team at Bethink Studio for their work in providing a fresh look in accordance with our design standards. Their expertise in transferring our content from Drupal to WordPress was complimented by their deep listening to help us reorganize our content. We also appreciate Mathieu Cain who consulted on map redesign to make member information much easier to find.”
