LEMC (Leamington Evangelical Mennonite Church) is a member church of the Evangelical Mennonite Conference of Canada, and it is rooted in the history and faith tradition of the European Protestant Reformation in the 16th century. Our forefathers originated in Northern Holland, and insisted on personal freedom of conscience and the spiritual calling of each person individually to live out their faith in Christ as a member of a faith community. Their emphasis was that every person must be accountable before God for their faith, and in repentance of sin and obedience to God’s call put their faith in The Lord Jesus and receive believer’s water baptism.
Because of their practice of believers baptism our forebears did not accept the state church enforced infant baptism. One early Anabaptist named Menno Simons became a leader among the Anabaptists, and hence the name Mennonites.
Because of severe religious persecution many of our forebears fled their native Northern Holland and settled in Poland where there was more freedom. Later many moved to Russia, and later some moved to Canada.
Through the generations the Mennonites have branched off into various groups with different emphasis on lifestyles and faith practices. In principle the core faith values of the various groups remain much the same.
Our mission is to spread the Gospel, making disciples of Jesus in our community and beyond. Our goal is to equip and train these new disciples who then go out and continue the mission.
What does this mean for you? Most importantly, you're always welcome at LEMC. We're saving a seat for you. Wherever you're at in your faith, you'll always be welcome as part of the LEMC family as we all walk together in obedience to Christ.
