Anabaptist/Mennonite Position on The Rapture

Anyone know what the Mennonites' position on the Rapture is?
I know they're pacifists, which I'm not sure is Biblical or not; but most of their positions (that I know of) seem right on.

Anyone here of that persuation?

My husband used to work with Amish but I don't know anything about the Mennonites. He says some of the Amish he worked with beleived in a pre trib rapture, but not all of them did. He used to tell them some of the news stories I found and they would discuss end times.

The Mennonite Church does not take an official stance on issues like amillenialism, tribulation, pre-millennialism, etc. Rather, it allows for a variety of opinions concerning the details of the reign of God. We do believe that Christ will personally return to judge the world, raise the dead, and usher in the glorious future of the kingdom of God. In our Confession of Faith in a Mennonite Perspective you will find the following statements:

“We place our hope in the reign of God and its fulfillment in the day when Christ will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead. He will gather his church, which is already living under the reign of God. We await God’s final victory, the end of this present age of struggle, the resurrection of the dead, and a new heaven and a new earth. There the people of God will reign with Christ in justice, righteousness, and peace for ever and ever.”
