Brief History of the Church of the Brethren Eighteenth century Europe was a time of strong governmental control of the church and low tolerance for religious diversity. Nevertheless, there were religious dissenters who lived their faith in spite of the threat of persecution. Some of these dissenters found refuge in the town of Schwarzenau, Germany. Among them was Alexander Mack, a miller who had been influenced by both Pietism and Anabaptism. In August 1708 five men and three women gathered at the Eder River in Schwarzenau for baptism, an illegal act since all had been baptized as infants. They understood this baptism as an outward symbol of their new faith and as a commitment to living that faith in community. An anonymous member of the group first baptized Mack. He, in turn, baptized the other seven. This new group simply called themselves "brethren." Though the early Brethren shared many beliefs with other Protestants, issues which separated them from the state churches included discipleship and obedience, reinstitution of the New Testament church, church discipline, biblicism, and nonresistance. They also shared their faith enthusiastically with others, sending evangelists to other parts of Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. Due to growing persecution and economic hardship, Brethren began emigrating to North America in 1719 under the leadership of Peter Becker. Most Brethren left Europe by 1740, including Mack, who brought a group over in 1729. The first congregation in the New World was organized at Germantown, Pa., in 1723. Soon after its formation, the Germantown congregation sent missionaries to rural areas around Philadelphia. These missionaries preached, baptized, and started new congregations.

Peters Creek Church of the Brethren One of the Valley's Oldest Peters Creek Church of the Brethren built in 1845 Early in the 18th century Europe was torn by strife. In the Eder Valley, near Schwargenau, Germany in the spring of 1708, Alexander Mack along with seven others, began a movement which evolved into what is known today as "The Church of The Brethren". In 1719, Mack, with his numerous followers, fled from Europe to America. The colony which they established in Germantown, Pennsylvania was the beginning of the "Dunkards" in America. We must remember the people called "Dunkards". who first came to the area were clannish, German speaking and for many years held themselves apart from their neighbors. They were hard working, industrious people and as a whole, excellent farmers. They sought only enough land to supply their needs. They sought neither wealth nor social prestige. They were not interested in political office and certainly they were not desirous of any type of military honor. When the Shenandoah Valley was first settled the Germans heavily populated the upper portion.

Links About the Church of the Brethren The Church of the Brethren traces its beginning in 1708 to a small group of German Christians who sensed God calling in a deeper manner than they experienced in the churches of the time.  After years of studying the scriptures, and meeting in houses to pray and seek God's will for their lives, eight men and women became convinced that God was calling them to be baptized as adult believers into a life of discipleshipfollowing in Jesus' wayrecognizing that this step of baptism would be contrary to the rules of the governing authorities of their time and place.  Under the leadership of Alexander Mack, these eight embarked on a journey of faith that we trace to our congregation today.

Womaen's Caucus is a network of feminist women and men who identify with the Church of the Brethren . Emboldened by our awareness of the violence and pain related to the denial of gender inequality, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we engage in the prophetic task of creating church which is free from attitudes and practices of injustice. Womaen's Caucus was founded in 1973 by a group of about 50 women from the Church of the Brethren. Through the years, members of Caucus have energetically advocated for women's concerns and issues. Strong and centered, Caucus greets the future with confidence, certain of our call to bear witness to truth as we are led by the wisdom of the Spirit. The first steering committee selected the name Church of the Brethren Womaen's Caucus , the spelling of the word Womaen to reflect the common bond between each woman and all women. Caucus has empowered women to claim a leadership role in the denomination, and participate fully in the life of the church.
