Mennonites typically maintain several types of church records, including baptism, membership, and marriage records, which document the spiritual milestones of their congregants. Many congregations also keep minutes from church meetings, financial records, and attendance logs. Additionally, some Mennonite communities may maintain genealogical records to trace family histories. These records serve both spiritual and administrative purposes, fostering community continuity and individual faith journeys.

Is a church required to give you a receipt for cash donations if you file it on your taxes?
It depends on how they are recorded. My church keeps very careful records and gives me a record every year so that I can use it when filing my taxes... but if you attend a church where they just pass a plate around and you throw cash onto it, then there is no way to keep track of your individual contribution. You should ask whoever is in charge of your church or congregation what kind of records they keep and how you can make a tax-deductible donation.
