Iglesia Anabautista Menonita Unida de Mexico is a religious association of six Mexican conferences registered together for legal coverage.
Iglesia Anabautista Menonita Unida de México (IAMUM) in English, is United Anabaptist Mennonite Church of Mexico. While Mission Network relates most closely with CIEAMM, through Mennonite Church USA area conferences and IAMUM connections, relationships with other conferences are growing.
MISSION: To be the fraternal bond among Anabaptist Mennonite congregations, promoting educational, formative and social programs. To give legal coverage for expansion and growth in all aspects of Christian life, personal and ecclesial, at the national level, with a clear Anabaptist identity.
VISION:To recognize the gifts and ministries of our congregations through good communication and trust that allows us to develop and extend our Anabaptist identity.
Participating conferences include:
