About us:
The Buffalo Mennonite Church was established
in 1949 by the Lancaster Conference of the Mennonite Church. It is
one of five congregations of the Juniata District, reaching out to
communities in central Pennsylvania.
We Belong to Each Other
- Romans 12:5 says, "In Christ we who are many form one body and
each member belongs to all the others." We feel that Christians need
each other for encouragement and growth, for confronting one another
in a supportive way, and for help in time of crisis. The church
grows in faith, unity, service, and witness when it is a caring and
loving community.
Helping
Each Other - As members of the body of Christ, we try to care
for the spiritual, emotional, and physical health of other members.
"Mutual aid" takes many forms, including giving time, money, and
goods in times of crisis.
Living Peacefully - As disciples of
Jesus, we try to live under Christ's rule: for many this means
loving the enemy and refusing to use violence or participating in
military service, living peaceably with others at all levels,
serving the poor and needy, and including taking risks to work
actively for justice and mercy.
