Meet Our Fall 2019 Pastor in Residence

"I absolutely love what CMU is about. It's such a palpably Jesus-centric, community-minded place, and the peace and reconciliation emphasis here, the rich Anabaptist roots—they're so tangible in how this place operates. CMU does not shy away from the big, difficult issues. The faculty and the students here engage, and they do so creatively, with joy and boldness. I love it, and I'm delighted to be a part of it for a while."

On Saturday November 2, the newly formed CMU Festival Chorus and resident Mennonite Community Orchestra will join forces, along with student and faculty soloists, to present This Thirsty Land, a bill of masterworks reanimated for the present moment.
