The central emphasis of the Church of the Brethren is not a creed, but a commitment to follow Christ in simple obedience, to be faithful disciples in the modern world. Our faith emphasizes compassion, peacemaking and simplicity.

Brethren work locally and worldwide to help victims of war, poverty and natural disasters. We believe that when Jesus showed us another way of living, He intended it to nourish and hearten the entire human family.
