Inquirers' Class

The Inquirers' Class is offered once or twice a year, usually during our Christian Education hour. It is open to all participants at Columbus Mennonite Church (CMC) with a special welcome to newer attendees. This class looks at the core beliefs of the Mennonite Church, as well as the ministries, beliefs and community life of CMC. This is not a membership class; however, CMC does ask people interested in baptism or formally joining CMC to participate in this class experience. We welcome new attendees who wish to know more about Mennonites
and CMC, as well as those who have attended here for multiple years and simply wish to refresh their knowledge of Mennonite beliefs and meet newer attendees. This has been a great setting in which to create new friendships in the church. All faith questions are welcomed. Our pastor, Steve Goering, teaches this class. Please feel free to contact Steve to express your interest in this class or to ask any questions you might have about the class.
