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.

Famous quotes containing the word churches:
“Science is neither a single tradition, nor the best tradition there is, except for people who have become accustomed to its presence, its benefits and its disadvantages. In a democracy it should be separated from the state just as churches are now separated from the state.”
—Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)
“The law of God is a law of change, and ... when the Churches set themselves against change as such, they are setting themselves against the law of God.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
