The Mennonite church is a historic peace church. We are known for our peace stand, taken because we believe Jesus Christ taught the way of peace. Many members choose not to participate in military service. Some take their belief further by objecting to government military expenditure; a few choose not to pay the percentage of their annual income tax that would go for military purposes.

Mennonites believe they are called to work for peace, justice and reconciliation on every stage from worldwide to interpersonal relationships. Mennonites are also known for their strong commitment to community; interest in social issues; voluntary service to those who have experienced hardship and loss in floods, tornadoes and other disasters; and mission outreach

MSU Mennonite Fellowship is a supporter of the Peace Education Center located in East Lansing. Throughout the year we provide information about community events and activities for member involvement.
