Assessment

Cloverdale Mennonite Church anchors the lone CMC/Rosedale Network congregation in northern Minnesota's Iron Range. Established in 1950, the church under Pastor Keith Tillotson serves a small congregation of approximately 40 members in Nashwauk. The CMC/Rosedale Network affiliation provides strong conservative Anabaptist accountability, male-only ordination, and confessional integrity in a region of Minnesota dominated by Lutheran and Catholic traditions. Green rating reflects clean denominational alignment.
