Michigan State University Mennonite Fellowship (East Lansing, Michigan, USA)
Michigan State University Mennonite Fellowship (also known as MSU Mennonite Fellowship), East Lansing, Michigan, USA, formally organized in 1973. It joined the General Conference Mennonite Church in 1977.
It had a long history as a supportive inter-generational community where members could explore questions about God and faith. Over 200 people were part of the Fellowship during their studies at MSU and have dispersed all over the United States and the world. MSU Mennonite Fellowship had two pastors over the course of its history, but most of the time relied on its members to organize and plan activities and services.
It was self-described as a liberal Mennonite church on its website. It ceased Sunday worship services in December 2012. Its membership typically ranged from 20-40.
