Affiliation

The Hyattsville Mennonite Church shares in the faith, fellowship, and labors of the Anabaptist tradition through memberships in the Allegheny Conference and in the Mennonite Church USA. Our church governance is congregationally based, which means that we accept the authority and responsibility given to those assembled “in the name of Christ,” as described in Matthew 18.

On Nov. 5, 2005, Allegheny Mennonite Conference delegates voted to discipline Hyattsville Mennonite Church for its practice of receiving into membership gay and lesbian Christians in committed relationships. Following the vote, Pastors Cindy Lapp and Joe Roos addressed the delegates. Click here for the pastors' closing remarks.
