Resourcing the Church

A gift to CommonWord provides a multiplier effect that grows each time an item is purchased or loaned, and reaches well beyond the spiritual lives of Mennonite congregations.

CommonWord has a large curated collection of Anabaptist-related books, DVDs, and electronic resources. Knowledgeable staff help link customers to carefully selected materials for loan, sale or download. This ministry not only serves Canadian Mennonite University or congregations in Mennonite Church Canada, but helps the ecumenical community and the public learn about Anabaptist faith values and core convictions.

An Ontario user wrote, “You operate—and develop—an excellent interconnected resource centre. In terms of what the church is, and what it is becoming, you are on the frontier. … you are enthusiastic about bringing fresh, cutting edge, resources to the church. Keep up the good work!” 

CommonWord is a collaboration of Mennonite Church Canada and Canadian Mennonite University.
