PLAN MY VISIT

A MESSAGE FOR YOU

We are a community that is FOR people. We strive to provide a comfortable, accepting, positive environment where you can learn about God and your faith. Here, you won’t be judged or turned away. EVERYONE is welcome – questions, doubts, hurts, struggles and all. We believe Jesus calls us to love everyone – it’s that simple. We are FOR you.

UPCOMING MESSAGE

Westmont Church of the Brethren's Northpoint message series called Ninety

As you probably know, the church in the United States is often known more for what it’s against than who it’s FOR, which is a problem, because the good news of Jesus is for everyone. As so the church should be as well.

So join us this weekend for our message “Broken and Grateful” as we talk about how we can disagree culturally and politically, and still love unconditionally, ensuring that our churches are known for WHAT, and more importantly, WHO we’re FOR.

Invite a friend, and we’ll see you then.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT US

In the New Testament, the word “brethren” describes a community of men and women who chose another way of living: the way of Jesus. The Church of the Brethren began three centuries ago in Germany, and still draws people who want to continue Jesus’ work of faithfulness and loving service.

Though the Brethren as a group have existed for three hundred years, we subscribe to no formal “creed” or set of rules. We simply try to do what Jesus did.  Steadily, lovingly, even radically, Jesus went about saving the world — by serving its people. Because we believe his message, we seek to do the same.

Whether the conflict involves warring nations, racial discord, theological disputes, personal disagreement, or mere misunderstanding, Brethren listen conscientiously, seek guidance in the scriptures, and work toward reconciliation. We strive for peaceful living. Living peacefully, to the Brethren, means treating each person with the attentive, compassionate respect that all human beings deserve.

The ideal of simplicity guides our decisions: How will we conduct our business, raise our children, spend our leisure time, tend our community? How will we use our money, and why? For the Brethren, such considerations are not a requirement, but a privilege. As we seek to live intentionally, responsibly, and simply, we find a deep sense of purpose. And joy.

We welcome all who wish to share with us in another way of living: the way of Christian discipleship, life in community, fulfillment in service.

We are continuing the work of Jesus, peacefully, simply, together.
