STATEMENT OF FAITH
We belong to a small Christian denomination called the Brethren in Christ. Yes, “brethren” is an old-fashioned expression, but we are an inclusive church for both men and women. Our denomination comes from the Mennonite branch of the Christian family tree. Our theology is from the Anabaptist tradition and focused on living simple, holy lives of mercy and peace.
