What is the Church of the Brethren?

The core values of the Church of the Brethren denomination are peace, service and a deep sense of community. These have developed since the denomination was founded in Germany in 1708. The Brethren left Germany soon after to avoid persecution and settled in Pennsylvania. Today there are more Brethren in Nigeria and other countries than in the United States.
