Convención de Iglesias Menonitas en Uruguay

Convención de Iglesias Menonitas en Uruguay is a conference of 16 Spanish-speaking Mennonite churches in Uruguay.

Spanish churches in Uruguay organized into a conference in 1972, now known as Convención de Iglesias Menonitas en Uruguay. Pastors and spouses meet monthly for a time of prayer, sharing experiences and discerning how they can support each other.

Early partnership history included the beginning of congregations and support for the formation of the conference. In response to growth in the churches and the need for more leaders, in January 2004, the Convención initiated a new Centro de Estudios program with support from Mission Network, Mennonite Church Canada Witness, and the German Konferenz, which provided study opportunities in multiple locations.

Leadership in the Convención is experiencing a generational shift as younger leaders are taking more responsibility as pastors and conference leaders, and more options are available for online education.
