Powhatan Mennonite Church was organized in 1963
by a group of dairy farmers who had moved from the Newport News, VA. area. We met in our
homes for a short time and then used a small cinderblock house. The first stage of our
permanent building was dedicated in 1965. This provided six classrooms and an assembly
room. When a growing attendance demanded an expansion, the present building was completed
in 1983.

diversity.

Who Are We?
Our Mission Statement
God has called us in Jesus Christ;
To a life of holiness and worship in which we express our
love for Him,
And to a life of nurture, equipping us to reach out, as the Holy
Spirit leads, in evangelistic, spiritual, and social ministries.
To God alone be the glory!
Spiritual Ministries
The basic purpose of our educational/spiritual ministry is to provide knowledge
of God through His Word, as provided in the Bible. Without this knowledge, we could not
truly worship God. Sunday School classes are provided for all age groups from nursery
through adult classes.
Powhatan Mennonite Youth and
Junior Youth Fellowships -
To
provide the youth of the congregation with an opportunity to develop Christian character.
Membership in the Youth includes all high school youth who have reached the age of
14 and Jr. youth members are ages 12-13.
Girls' & Boys'
Club- To assist
in the Christian growth of our girls and boys, ages 8 through 12.
Annual Vacation Bible School
- To aid children in their spiritual growth.
Church Library
- To
provide constructive literature for life enrichment resources for study of the
Bible
Prayer Chain - Organized for the purpose of
interceding with God for the needs of the congregation and others.
Womens
Outreach- To
encourage women in their unique mission and service giftings in the life of the local
church, the community, and links to the broader, church-wide womens outreach
ministries. The women meet the second Tuesday of each month during the day
to quilt and make
items for the annual Virginia Relief Sale, which benefits Mennonite
Central Committee (MCC); the women also respond to needs in the church and community. There
also are times of Bible study and fellowship
luncheons.
Men's Prayer and Bible Study - Meet each Saturday
morning at 7 a.m. at the church for fellowship, Bible study and prayer.

Evangelistic Ministries

Bible Studies courses and as other opportunities arise through "We
Care" prison crusade, Angel Tree, Ride
for the Son, Elk Hill Boys Camp, etc.

Disaster Service is a channel through which various constituencies of
the Anabaptist church can respond to those affected by disasters in North
America. While our main focus is on clean up, repair and rebuilding
homes, this activity becomes a means of touching lives and helping people
regain faith and wholeness.

Who are we and what do we believe ...
Powhatan Mennonite Church is a member of the Mennonite
Church USA and Virginia Conference of the
Mennonite Church.
The Powhatan congregation believes that its purpose is to worship God
and expand His Kingdom in the local community and the world..
Mennonites hold many basic doctrines in common with
other Christian groups. In relation to the theological issues of the Reformation times,
they emphasize the following:
The Bible as the authoritative Word of God and the New Testament
as the pattern of life for the community of believers.
The sinfulness of man and the necessity of regeneration through
accepting Jesus as Savior and Lord.
The church, the visible body of Christ, practicing believers
baptism and regarding the elements of the Lords Supper as memorial symbols.
The life of active peacemaking rather than participation in
warfare.
The separation of church and state.
The life of simplicity and separation from worldly extravagancies.
The believing community, a refuge of love and mutual aid.
The daily walk of obedient discipleship, under the leading of the
Holy Spirit
