First Mennonite Church is part of the Anabaptist family of churches in The American Church Story. 47 congregations of the Anabaptist family gather across Illinois — 1,098 across the United States on The Church Map.
The Anabaptists paid with their lives for believers' baptism and freedom of conscience centuries before either was safe to hold, and every church in America now enjoys what they died for. Their disaster-relief crews, arriving quietly after every flood and fire, and their refusal to return violence remain a standing witness to the rest of us.
