Mennonite
Mennonites are an Anabaptist Christian tradition known for peace, simple living and community service, with congregations around the world including in the Caribbean and Central America. Jamaica Homes News covers Mennonite communities, their land and buildings, and their relief and development work.
Summit Mennonite Church in Barberton, Ohio, down to about two dozen active members, chose to keep going rather than close. It sold its building to a local food ministry and now rents a fellowship room at a nearby church.
Seattle Mennonite Church gave away a Capitol Hill house it bought about 45 years ago for $24,000 and assessed in 2020 at $2 million, transferring it free to a group that plans housing and services for transgender people of colour.
Seattle Mennonite Church is selling its 1.3-acre Lake City campus, built around a former movie theatre, to Community Roots Housing for $7.75 million, about $1 million below market value, for about 255 affordable homes and a new church space.
The Allegheny Mennonite Conference sold its Washington-area International Guest House for $1.35 million and shared $933,570 among its 16 congregations, with half going to the church most closely tied to the house.
First Mennonite Church in Mountain Lake, Minnesota, which once drew 400 to 500 worshippers, sold its 1950s sanctuary to a Hispanic Pentecostal congregation and moved into a nursing home chapel as attendance fell to about 40.
