People in process…  changing, learning, growing, falling, failing, learning again.  Frankly, we are a piece of work! We are people of faith and doubt, conviction and compromise, starts and stops. We live in the hopeful tension between where we are now and where we believe God is calling us to be in the future.   

People on a journey… discovering and writing a local and global story of faith, hope and love in the way of Jesus. Our trek is centered on following Jesus and the Gospel of His Kingdom. We are striving to be missional: sent to incarnate the Gospel in our neighbourhoods, cities and world. We desire to be ‘Good News’ among our neighbours.

People of diversity... coming together!  We long to come and go as an inter-generational and inter-racial community of faith. We are young and old, male and female, with unique stories, different family and economic backgrounds, education, careers, backgrounds, skills, talents and disabilities – all of which enrich our sense of belonging and mission.

Our History

Over 40 years ago Waterloo Mennonite Brethren Church (WMB) began with a small group of people with prayerful imagination and faith. Their dream was to “impact the northeast corner of Waterloo with the love of Jesus Christ.” Over the years, God has been faithfully writing his ‘love story’ through this community of faith, taking us down various roads, pathways and detours. It’s been a humbling and exciting journey!

Throughout the past several years, a new chapter in our story has been unfolding. WMB has transitioned from calling people to come to church (a building) to also equipping and training people to go and be the Church (a living organism) in our community. This missional call is reflected in our mission, vision and strategy.

Our Mission: 

...making more and better disciples...

Our Vision:

Our vision at WMB is to Glorify God as we Gather in community, Grow in our faith and Give of ourselves and our resources so that we may Go into the world to build relationships that offer the hope and Grace of Jesus Christ.

Our Values:   Gather*Glorify*Grow*Grace*Give*Go

Gather - At WMB, we believe that being a church means to gather as a community in large, medium and small groups to love, encourage and sharpen each other in our faith. (Hebrews 10:24-25)

Glorify - At WMB, we believe that God, the Creator of the universe, desires our glory, praise and worship and that His glory shines through us and into the lives of others.
(Psalm 86:12)

Grow - At WMB, we believe that life is a journey of continual growth and discovery. Through the personal and corporate disciplines of Bible study, prayer and worship, we will continue to develop and mature in our relationships with Christ and others. (2 Timothy 3:15-16)

Grace - At WMB, we are committed to being a church that expresses God's grace to those we come in contact with in our community. Grace is receiving something that is undeserved and God demonstrated grace to the world by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins. (Ephesians 2:8-9)

Give - At WMB, we believe that we are to give, and that there are three dimensions to giving. We are to give by serving God and others by using our spiritual gifts. We are to give of our time, and we are to give of our resources. (1 Corinthians 15:58)

Go - At WMB, we believe that God has called us to leave our comfortable pews and go into the world to love people and share the only news that offers hope, the good news of Jesus Christ. (Matthew 28:19-20)

Our Invitation:          

You are welcome to join us in this journey of faith and mission with Jesus. We are excited about the story that God is unfolding at WMB! We’d love for you to be a part of it with us.
