Tiskilwa, IL – At the March 31-April 1 Annual Assembly, the delegate body voted to receive Carlock Mennonite Church into membership of IMC. Many congregations are already familiar partners with Carlock Mennonite, formerly a part of Central District Conference, through events like the Illinois Mennonite Relief Sale, as well as personal connections.

Conference Executive Minister, Michael Danner, said, “I am excited to have Carlock Mennonite Church as a part of IMC. They are a good fit for the vision and direction of IMC. I look forward to a growing partnership with their congregation and leaders.”

Carlock Mennonite Church was founded in 1914. They are a faith-based family church serving Jesus and their community from within the Mennonite tradition. According to their website, they have approximately 80 members ranging from infants to “more seasoned” folks. They recently called Doane Brubaker, former pastor of First Mennonite Church of Morton and Maple Lawn Homes chaplain, as their pastor.

To learn more about Carlock Mennonite Church, visit their website or, better yet, drop in to worship with them some Sunday morning (worship times are on their website). If you are from a congregation in Central Illinois, reach out to Carlock and welcome them to IMC!
