Rodney Hennessey
Senior Pastor
"I moved to the Prairies from Prince Edward Island in 2006 intending to stay a year or two, and am continually surprised that I still live in the Prairies. Before getting my MDiv, I had a background in audio engineering and graphic design along with a diploma in music composition and arranging. I thought for many years that my passion was leading congregations and teams in worship, but I've come to discover that the music aspect was a connection point to help lead people closer to Christ. I'm so blessed to be the lead pastor at Grace Mennonite Church, and I pray that everyone we encounter will see the love we have for Jesus, and for them."

HEART & SOUL
WHO WE ARE AS A CHURCH
PHILOSOPHY
WHAT WE BELIEVE
We believe that God exists and is pleased with all who draw near by faith. We believe in Jesus Christ, we believe in the Holy Spirit, and we worship the one holy and loving God who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit eternally.
MISSION
WHAT WE DO
Rooted in the peaceful Anabaptist theology, Grace Mennonite Church strives to build passionate spirituality in our community, creating a nurturing, supportive witness for Christ, and service in His name.
VISION
FOR THE FUTURE
We see a future where our church family grows to new heights as we work side by side to enrich the lives and spirits of our congregation and community, offering Grace and Peace to Stranger and Friend in the name of Jesus Christ.
HISTORY
HOW WE GOT HERE
FOUNDATIONS
Grace Mennonite Church in Regina began through an organizational meeting called by C. Blake Friesen on February 27, 1955. Twenty-seven people attended this meeting and decided to organize a congregation. In July of that year they purchased a property for meeting at 1409 Victoria Ave.
REGIONAL HISTORY
Grace Mennonite finds its home in the Historical lands of the Cree, Saulteaux, and Metis nations. We gather in Treaty 4 Lands, covenanted between Indigenous and Settler peoples in 1874, "for as long as the sun shines, the green grass grows, and the waters flow". On these lands we gather in our common humanity as diverse communities, with unique stories and gifts, to learn from - and celebrate with - each other.
PRESENT DAY
Today our church home is located at 2935 Pasqua Street. The sanctuary was completed in 1968 with the education wing and kitchen being completed in 1979. Small group gatherings meet throughout the week to work, study, pray, and fellowship together. From humble beginnings our congregation has grown over more than fifty years into a vibrant multi-ethnic and multi-generational Anabaptist Fellowship with more than 160 members.
