Warm friendly people sharing with others the joy and confidence they have in Jesus Christ - Grace Brethren churches were born with a passion to see people really live Christianity every day. Not just Sundays, but every day!

When Alexander Mack and those with the same convictions began the first GBC in Germany in 1708, they applauded the Reformation, but also cheered for more! Even more of a return to the Scriptures. More of an emphasis on personal salvation and the public identification of believers with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and their work of grace in salvation. A return to the biblical command to be baptized as a symbol of one's identification with Christ.

With a belief in the integrity of God's Word, they searched the Bible for principles for daily living. "If the Bible teaches it, they let's do it." was their goal.Today several hundred Brace Brethren congregations seek to have that same conservative stance in theology while being progressive in method and love.
