The Lombard Mennonite Peace Center (LMPC) ministry receives its impetus from Scripture: “All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation” (II Corinthians 5:18). Thus, LMPC seeks to ground its peacemaking in a biblical understanding of salvation and Christian discipleship.
