Mosaic Mennonite Conference

What Mosaic Mennonite Conference does

Mosaic Mennonite Conference is a private, nonprofit Anabaptist Mennonite denominational body headquartered in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, formed in 2019 through the merger of Eastern District Conference and Franconia Mennonite Conference — two regional Mennonite bodies that had been separated since 1847 and trace their shared roots to 1725 Pennsylvania. The conference governs and supports a network of affiliated member congregations and Conference-Related Ministries spread across at least seven U.S. states (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Vermont, Florida, California, and Texas), with global connections through affiliation with Mennonite World Conference.

The organization's core products and services are programmatic rather than technological. Primary offerings include the Mosaic Institute (a four-course leadership school for pastors and lay leaders priced at $500 per course with member scholarships), the annual Delegate Assembly (governance and discernment gathering), Youth Events and MennoNights, Missional Opportunity Grants (approximately $35,000 disbursed annually to member churches), pastoral credentialing, and themed resource libraries organized around three stated priorities — Missional, Intercultural, and Formational. The conference also distributes multilingual content in six languages (English, Spanish, Traditional Chinese, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Haitian Creole) and maintains safety, stewardship, and leadership development resource hubs. The technology footprint is limited to a WordPress-based website, email newsletters, Vimeo-hosted audio/video content, and standard donor/recipient workflows; there are no proprietary software products, APIs, or AI/ML components.

Mosaic Conference's revenue model is entirely donations-based. Income streams include general conference giving from member congregations and individuals, designated funds (Shalom Fund for crisis assistance, Pastoral Retirement Fund, Project Worm deworming initiative, Ministry Operational Grants), and nominal tuition revenue from Mosaic Institute courses. Following a November 2025 delegate vote (74% support), the conference discontinued its affiliation with Mennonite Church USA and is in the process of establishing new partnership arrangements rooted in shared Anabaptist values. The organization is governed by a board of delegates from member congregations and operates with a small staff of approximately 8 employees, most of whom work remotely.

Direct peers

• Virginia Mennonite Conference: A regional Anabaptist conference operating in VA/MD/PA and a current partner in the Atlantic Northeast network. Directly comparable as a credentialing and leadership body for affiliated Mennonite congregations, sharing Mosaic's assembly-based governance model.
• Allegheny Mennonite Conference: Regional Mennonite conference in the Mid-Atlantic / Western PA region and a current network partner within the Atlantic Northeast Mennonite Conferences. Directly comparable as a peer conference delivering pastoral credentialing and missional/intercultural programs to affiliated Anabaptist congregations.
• Lancaster Mennonite Conference: A sister Mennonite conference headquartered in Lancaster County, PA. Comparable because it operates the same conference model—pastoral credentialing, mission grants, intercultural ministries—serving affiliated Anabaptist congregations across the same Pennsylvania footprint.
• Western District Mennonite Conference: A geographically distinct but structurally identical Mennonite conference serving the central U.S. Comparable because it operates the same leadership-credentialing, intercultural-formation, and congregational support model for Anabaptist churches outside Mosaic's region.
• Atlantic Coast Mennonite Conference: Regional Mennonite conference serving congregations along the U.S. Atlantic coast and a current Mosaic network partner. Comparable because it delivers similar assembly governance, credentialing, leadership development, and intercultural programming under the same Anabaptist framework.
• Indiana-Michigan Mennonite Conference: Another area Mennonite conference previously affiliated with MC USA. Comparable as a regional Anabaptist body with pastoral credentialing, assembly governance, and Mission Network engagement, serving congregations across IN and MI.
• Church of the Brethren: A historic U.S. peace church sharing Anabaptist theological roots, congregational polity, and emphasis on service and nonviolence. Comparable as a denomination-sized body delivering credentialing, missions, and congregational support to affiliated churches with similar historical heritage.

Broad incumbents

• Mennonite Church USA: The largest U.S. Mennonite denomination, which Mosaic formally departed in November 2025. Comparable as the broader institutional umbrella that historically provided Mosaic with credentialing, agency partnerships, and collective infrastructure—now a large incumbent operating in the same Anabaptist space.

Others

• Eastern Mennonite University (EMU): An Anabaptist-affiliated institution of higher learning whose seminary partners with Mosaic on faculty and leadership development (e.g., board member Lindy Backues). Adjacent as a complementary educational arm that funnels credentialed leaders into Mosaic's pastoral ecosystem.
• Mennonite World Conference: The global Anabaptist-Mennonite communion with which Mosaic remains aligned. Comparable as a higher-level coordinating organization that links regional conferences worldwide and lends external legitimacy, though it operates at a global fellowship rather than congregational-support level.
