Faith and Life Gatherings are designated meetings for credentialed and retired leaders in Mosaic Mennonite Conference.
At the Fall 2015 Assembly, Franconia Conference passed the Faith and Life Church Together Statement, calling for the formation of the Faith and Life Commission with the purpose of providing space for pastors and credentialed leaders within the Conference to study scripture with one another. The gatherings are held for the purpose of establishing and supporting relationships among pastors and credentialed leaders and building ties of friendship and support.

Our table noted that there is a difference between unity and uniformity. Unity can exist amidst differences in perspective and practice.
According to Jesus, it is the love of God in us that unifies us and shows the world who he is.
At the May 2021 Faith and Life Gathering, we discussed Paul and Barnabas’ challenges in Acts 15. We have to communicate clearly what the great commission means and how we are to go about doing it, because we still have work to do.
The Faith and Life Commission of Mosaic Conference provides space for pastors and credentialed leaders to build ties of friendship and support between each other. We convene quarterly in order to discuss scripture and to hear stories of how we might interpret and apply those scriptures.
Mosaic Conference’s quarterly “Faith and Life gatherings” of pastors have been created to strengthen our relationships with one another, to discuss Scripture together, to hear each other’s stories, and to pray for one another.
