MHS Association seeks to inspire collaboration, integrate faith and work, and advance the mission of each member ministry. Anabaptist faith and values are the foundation for this work. The Anabaptist tradition’s core beliefs have been described by Palmer Becker as:
In our program development and interactions with membership, the greater community, and one another, MHS Association staff endeavor to live out these core beliefs by fostering a culture of belonging, hospitality, and shalom. We celebrate the image of God (Genesis 1:26) manifested in persons of every age, ethnicity, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, education, intellectual or emotional or physical ability, and economic or immigration status (Galatians 3:28). We strive to find common ground on which to build relationships with our membership and the greater community. We aim to treat others as we would like to be treated. We acknowledge that, even with the best intentions, we are learning and will sometimes fall short and invite accountability from our community. We affirm that all members are welcome to fully participate in the programs and community of MHS Association.
