United Brethren in Christ

The United Brethren church is….

• Evangelical. Theologically, we enjoy solid evangelical credentials.
• Not huge. We have about 200 churches in the United States. Being huge has its advantages, but that’s not who we are.
• International. We include churches in 18 countries, and a presence in a number of others.
• Welcoming. We gladly link arms with other Christian denominations, organizations, and groups to accomplish Christ’s mission.
• Church-focused. We’re not big on denominational stuff. The local church is where things happen.
• Averse to hangups. We take stands where necessary, but avoid areas where Christians can legitimately disagree. We don’t like to scare people off or fight each other.
• Historic. We’ve been around for nearly 250 years. In fact, we were the first new denomination to begin in the New World. For whatever that’s worth.
