Mennonites are, above all, followers of Christ. For the most part, you won’t see a lot of difference between Mennonites and other mainstream denominations. We dress the same, live the same, and worship the same.
The Mennonite faith was born out of the Anabaptist movement of the 16th century. The Anabaptists were people who believed in baptizing adult believers rather than infants. They also believed in resolving conflict through peaceful and non-violent means. The name Anabaptist was given to this group by others as a way of mocking them. Anabaptist means “re-baptize.” Those in the group had all been baptized as infants, but were making the choice to be “re-baptized” as adult believers.
