TEACHING CHURCH
WMB Church is excited to be a Teaching Church with our MB Seminary!
Through this partnership, we are able to provide seminary-quality teaching and workshops right here at WMB. Twice annually, we will host MB seminary faculty for live weekend workshops, in which teaching will be contextualized to our congregations. At the same time, there will also be the opportunity or take courses for credit or earn a graduate certificate.

UPCOMING COURSES
MB CONVICTIONS – ENGAGING IN COMMUNITY (THS 510)
If being a Christian is about personally confessing Jesus as Lord, what does it mean to be a community of disciples living the mission of the church in the world? Why do Mennonite Brethren emphasize community so strongly? This course will focus on the key elements of visible discipleship as articulated in the Confession of Faith, drawing upon the principle of letting biblical conceptual language about discipleship shape the theological reflection of the believing community in discerning ethical and missional outcomes.
Workshop: November 7 -8, 2025
Full Course: Starts November 3, 2025
