Partner overview

Korea Anabaptist Center is a resource center that provides education and training in the Anabaptist/Mennonite faith tradition.

The Korea Anabaptist Center works with individuals, groups and churches to actively participate in the mission of God by cultivating biblical discipleship, peace and Christian community. The center works at developing and providing resources, education, training and relationships in the Anabaptist/Mennonite faith tradition. Related programs include peace and conflict education and implementation, language education, and Korea Anabaptist Publishing.

The vision for the ministry of the Korea Anabaptist Center was first suggested by the leaders of the Jesus Village Church and of Abba Shalom Koinonia community in Kangwon province, South Korea. Interest in this vision has grown and is shared by many, including graduates of the former Mennonite Vocational School, a Mennonite Central Committee project following the Korean War. Since 1996, Mennonite Mission Network, Mennonite Church Canada Witness and Mennonite Central Committee have cooperated in sending workers to serve with center and Jesus Village Church. The center marked its official beginning in November 2001 and is continuing to build its ministry and relationships in partnership with brothers and sisters from Korea and North America.
