Everence
Everence is a resource for Anabaptist-related churches for insurance, financial services, and educational resources for health and stewardship-related concerns. Formerly known as MMA, Mennonite Mutual Aid. ADNet inherited many resources and received financial aid from MMA during ADNet's start-up phase. Mennonite Central Committee MCC is a relief, service, and peace agency of the North American Mennonite and Brethren in Christ churches. MCC reflects the biblical call to care for the hungry and thirsty, the stranger, the sick and those in prison. Some regional MCC groups still maintain small programs that address the needs of persons with disabilities. Mennonite Health Services Alliance MHS Alliance connects health care organizations to each other and to the church. Members are mainly providers of direct services such as hospitals, mental health facilities, disabilities services providers, and retirement centers. At the beginning of 2009, ADNet became a member of MHS Alliance. Church of the Brethren Disabilities Ministry
