Church of the Brethren
We are a community of Christians, followers of Christ in a tradition of Pietism and Anabaptism stretching back to 1708. We believe Christ is the Son of God, lived on Earth, died for our sins, and was resurrected to fulfill the Mercy and Justice of a Loving God. Our denomination is one of the historic Peace churches, who worked to form the alternative service program of WWII. This is not a requirement of membership, and we welcome and support those who have served as veterans of wars. Our tradition includes a martyred minister who preached to both sides of the Civil War, conscientious objectors, and veterans.
The Church of the Brethren was instrumental in the founding of Heifer Project and has had Missions fields in India, Nigeria, and China. We pray for members of EYN, the Church of the Brethren in Nigeria who have been persecuted, martyred, and displaced in the conflict in that nation. See more on their struggle HERE. |
