Who we are

In obedience to the Great Commission, Virginia Mennonite Missions (VMMissions) equips the church to share new life in Jesus Christ with neighbors near and far. We envision a Spirit-filled church of many cultures living out God’s kingdom in every sphere of life.

VMMissions was commissioned by Virginia Mennonite Conference in 1919 to help Mennonites in Virginia share the good news of Jesus Christ with their neighbors in West Virginia. Within a few decades, the ministry had extended to the Caribbean and the Mediterranean.

Today, with headquarters in Harrisonburg, Virginia, VMMissions supports 60 missionaries serving in 20 countries and sends multiple short-term teams each year, all focused on being and making disciples in the way of Christ. Ministries include evangelism and church planting, education, leadership development, children and youth ministry, deaf ministry, refugee and immigrant ministry, church revitalization and business as mission.

In addition to churches in Virginia Mennonite Conference, we serve a growing number of like-minded partners around the globe. Consider joining our work—as a short-term or long-term mission worker, as a donor, by serving on a Mission Support Team—and through prayer support!
