Founded in 2004 (originally called Missio Dei, we changed our name on October 1, 2012), the Mennonite Worker is an urban intentional community and Mennonite congregation that includes residential members and members who live nearby. We are committed to following Jesus’ way of simplicity (seeking a sustainable life with a healthy relationship to possessions), hospitality (inviting friends and strangers to share life together), prayer (being rooted in life-giving spiritual rhythms), peace (breaking our addiction to power as we get in the way of violence and injustice), and resistance (naming and challenging oppression wherever we find it as we seek to embody an alternative).
We currently operates one community house. Simone Weil House is located at 2420 11th Ave S in Minneapolis.
