Churches
Some of the largest congregations include Mennonite Church of Normal, Arthur Mennonite Church, and Lombard Mennonite Church.
Lombard Mennonite Church has about 150 members. It is active in the local Ten Thousand Villages store and other ministries such as Lombard Mennonite Peace Center. The current lead pastor is Todd Friesen with John Stoltzfus as associate pastor. Throughout its history, Mennonites have used this church as a launching point for starting mission churches in the city of Chicago.
