Care Groups
Care Groups at Waterloo North Mennonite Church exist for the purpose of fostering our relationship with God and for building supportive relationships within our church community. These are small groups (5-12 people) who determine their own meeting frequency, location and times. If you are interested in joining a care group, then please email our church office.

Youth
We have a large and vibrant youth group. Junior Youth (Grades 7-8) and Senior Youth (Grades 9-12) meet at least monthly during the school year. Each month, we usually have both a gathering time for games and fellowship and a bigger event, such as a hayride or a weekend retreat. Some events include both the junior and senior youth combined. Every other summer, we provide an out-of-town youth experience trip, which usually has a ministry emphasis. We strive to provide safe opportunities for the youth to bond and grow in a Christian community. Contact the church office to be put on the youth memo emailing list.

Our Ministry Team consists of both staff (salaried) ministers and lay ministers. The primary ministry of the team is to provide pastoral care and nurture spiritual growth in our congregation. See “Contact” tab for list of names.
