Community Mennonite Church of Lancaster

About this church

Community Mennonite Church of Lancaster, often shortened to CMCL, worships on Sunday mornings at 9:30 a.m. at 328 West Orange Street in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. A Zoom option is listed for the service. Worship is rooted in the stories of Jesus, follows the Christian lectionary, and draws on Mennonite tradition, with room for questions and fresh readings of scripture. Music plays a large part, from a cappella hymns to piano, acoustic guitar, jazz, and bluegrass, and visual art is also used in worship. Coffee is served in the Parrot Gallery after the service, and a Christian education hour for all ages follows at 11:00 a.m.

During the school year, children and youth gather at 11:00 a.m. on Sundays for classes: play-based sessions for ages two to five, and groups for grades one through four and five through eight, led by approved adult volunteers. The church lists adult Christian education, small groups, Mennonite Men and Mennonite Women groups, pastoral care, a library, and a gallery space that hosts art receptions and potluck lunches. Neighborhood engagement, peace and justice work, and facility use for outside groups are also described. People interested in joining can take part in new member dinners, and membership is not required to participate. Confirm current schedules on the church website.
