MICHIGAN AVENUE MENNONITE CHURCH
About us
Our church history reaches back more than a century ago. Our congregation first organized in 1894 and in 1897 our first church was constructed in the nearby town of Berne. The congregation met there until 1939 when our current church was built in Pigeon.
As a church, it is our desire that people would know Jesus as Savior and grow in Him. It is our hope to introduce people to Jesus both locally and around the world. We want people to find the life that we have in Jesus Christ.
We also hope that people would grow in their faith and find healing in their lives. We believe the Bible shows us how to live and what to believe. We believe prayer is significant both for our own sake and for others.
Six Disciplines of the Church:
Worship
The Bible
Prayer
Evangilism
Discipleship
The Care of Others
Michigan Avenue is part of Mennonite Church USA and helps with various denominational activities. These would include MCCC Relief Work and Mennonite Missionaries Network. Along with other Pigeon churches, Michigan Avenue participates with local food pantries.
