My name is John M. Troyer and Evangelical Anabaptist Network has been a dream for some time. As a pastor in Mennonite Church USA for over 20 years, I am captivated by so many things that are a part of our identity. I grew up in a Beachy church, a fellowship of Anabaptist churches that identify as Amish Mennonite. In high school, I began attending a Mennonite Church and was baptized there. At the same time, I became involved in a charismatic Bible study and experienced the fullness of the Holy Spirit in my life.
The Mennonite Church has given me so many gifts. I was mentored and encouraged in my faith by people with a deep faith and lives of self-sacrifice. I have connected with people from other racial and ethnic backgrounds and am blessed by the spiritual blessings I have received. Our 1995 Confession of Faith resonates with my heart and provides a foundation for joining together as a community of faith.
I live in Goshen, IN, and with my wife Sheila and our two children, Mandy and Michael. My wife Sheila and I share a full-time youth pastor position, with a commitment to full-time parenting before our children went to school. Michael is now in kindergarten so I am making a commitment to this project.
