Hesston Mennonite Church

About this church

Hesston Mennonite Church begins Sunday School at 9:00 a.m., fellowship at 10:00, and worship at 10:30 at 309 South Main Street. The service lasts about an hour and fifteen minutes and includes varied music, prayer, Scripture, a sermon, and opportunities for children to participate. Dress is whatever feels comfortable, parking surrounds three sides of the building, and the Welcome Booth can direct newcomers. When a Sunday potluck is scheduled, visitors are explicitly invited to stay.

Part of Mennonite Church USA’s Western District Conference, the congregation emphasizes following Jesus, peacemaking, nonviolence, reconciliation, and Spirit-led transformation. Faith formation at 9:00 serves children from age three through fourth grade, junior youth in grades five through seven, senior youth in grades eight through twelve, and adults through several discussion-oriented classes. Children and youth also meet Wednesday evenings from September through April. A distinctive Shepherd Program assigns trained lay caregivers to households for listening, prayer, annual visits, celebrations, and support during hardship, extending pastoral connection beyond formal clergy. The church began in 1909 alongside Hesston College, and the two institutions shared facilities and leaders for more than a century. Livestreaming starts around 10:20 on Sundays, shortly before worship.
