We think of ourselves as a family and we continue to recall that which binds us to one another. We see beauty in the tapestry of Brethren diversity and identify dominant threads that hold the design together and make it unique. We don't all describe our faith the same way. Some of us have difficulty voicing it at all. Yet repeatedly Brethren have sacrificed homes, work, and life itself to do what they believed discipleship required.
Brethren are a people of conviction.
We insist you cannot be Christian alone. Our name was chosen to express the deep ties that bind us to one another as brothers and sisters in the faith family. Allegiance to Christ is central. Brethren are a people of covenant. That text has inspired a remarkable record of human service.
