LUMC is a member of Mennonite
Church Canada. |
Within MCCanada, LUMC is a member
of the regional conference of congregations
called Mennonite Church Eastern Canada (MCEC).
MCEC meets two times per year in Ontario. The
October session is a one day gathering and the
April event is a weekend of business and
worship.

Our congregation is formed by
people with a variety of backgrounds. The main
backgrounds are Russian and German from people
who arrived in the Essex County area in the
1920's and late 1940's, as well as in the 1970's
from Mexico. But as our congregation grows, it
gathers people with European, Asian and Latin
American roots. This enriches the way in which
our worship is developed, in ways of music, as
well as in the ways in which people share their
faith within and outside our congregation.

Throughout our history
we have also had a strong commitment to
higher education and to senior care.
United Mennonite Educational Institute is a
vital ministry of our congregation where
high school students are encouraged to
integrate their faith with all of life.
Through the Mennonite Home we provide our
seniors with professional multi-level care
in a faith environment. Both of these
ministries depend on many faithful
volunteers from the church and the wider
community.
