Solar Panels

We are called to be stewards of the environment, and this includes reducing our greenhouse gas emissions. By purchasing a solar PV system, we are reducing the emissions we release from our electricity consumption. This reduces air pollution and improves air quality, slows the effects of climate change, and reduces our reliance on a diminishing supply of fossil fuels.

Check out how we're doing!

70 Years of Working Together in Hong Kong

Take Mennonites from 7 different places and begin to tell stories from 70 years of working together.  Throw in an array of photos from those 70 years plus visits to see present ministries in churches and lots of conversations mixing all these things together over good food.  That’s the weekend that I had with the Conference of Mennonite Churches in Hong Kong.

I have found so much value and growth on the beautiful campus of CMU, and no rebranding project (good or bad) can change the joy I’ve found there. I will continue to choose this small university for both the big opportunities and the incredible community that it lovingly fosters.

Student Bursary Essays

Faith has always been an important part of my family and life, and since both of my parents as well as my two older siblings attended CMU, choosing it myself felt like a natural next step.

Sitting in the Circle

"In the daylight God disappears,
running here and there,
contending with the desires of people,
