God calls Calgary First Mennonite Church to follow Jesus Christ and to be a family of God.
We are empowered by the Holy Spirit to worship, assist our church family through life's journey, extend the hand of service, and invite others to faith.
If you are passing through, Godspeed;
If you are looking for a new home, stay here;
If you need instruction, learn from us as we learn from you;
We invite visitors to join us, but most of all to return often,
As Christ's people we open our doors with love.
First Mennonite Church had its beginning during the 1930's when young Mennonite women came to Calgary to find employment as domestic workers in some of the well-to-do-homes. They gathered together wherever they could for fellowship.
Statements of what Mennonites believe have been among us from earliest beginnings. A group of Anabaptists, forerunners of Mennonites, wrote the Schleitheim Articles in 1527. Since then, Mennonite groups have produced numerous statements of faith.
