Follow Jesus 25 is the biennial gathering of Mennonite Church USA. It is an exciting combination of learning, growing and fun with friends! The purpose of convention is to gather as Mennonite Church USA for Community, Worship and Faith Formation.
Community
Community is important to Mennonites. MennoCon gives Mennonite Church USA an opportunity to come together as a denomination. Adults, youth, jr. youth and children gather to build relationships with one another. Worship and seminars, along with the exhibit hall, recreation hall and meals, provide opportunities to grow as community.
Worship
Worship at MennoCon is intergenerational, bringing together youth and adults. Services are scheduled in the morning and evening. Scriptural themes are explored through singing, speakers and worship rituals.
Faith Formation
Faith formation happens in a variety of ways at Follow Jesus 25. Seminars offer participants an opportunity to gain knowledge and resources that are useful in personal and congregational settings. Small group time allows youth groups to delve deeper in to the worship themes as well as reflect on the days learnings.
