Modesto Church of The Brethren

Believe in God the creator and sustainer, in Christ Jesus our example and inner resource for daily living, and in the Holy Spirit as the nurturer of our faith.

Uphold the New Testament as our only creed and our guide for faithful living.

Endeavor to be a supportive community as we journey together and seek to relate our faith to our daily lives.

Observe believer's baptism, footwashing, Love Feast and communion, and anointing for healing.

Recognize Christ's mandate to serve the needy, to live simply, and to share generously of what we have.

Encourage spiritual growth through Bible study, prayer, and sharing with one another.

Respect each person's right of conscience and search for faithfulness.

Work for peace and justice through non-violence and moderation of life style.

Were founded in 1708, with the Modesto congregation forming in 1922.
