Imperial Heights Community Church of the Brethren

We are a protestant denomination that teaches, preaches and lives according to the example of our Lord and Savior Jesus, the Christ. We have no creed, but to take the New Testament as our rule of practice and faith. We accept the Holy Bible as the inspired word of God and uphold it as inerrant and infallible.

We believe in the practical application of our faith and are committed to living out our lives in service to one another and to our neighbors as well.

We practice adult baptism and observe the other ordinances taught by Jesus in the New Testament. Among these are the Love Feast, Feet Washing, Holy Communion and Service of Anointing and Laying on of Hands.

Our denomination is heavily involved in peace from the Christian perspective and world mission. Brethren have always opposed oppression of any kind. Early on, membership was denied to slaveholders during that era in U.S. history. As Pacifists we have provided medical, civil and financial aid in all areas around the world where warring factions are present. We work closely with other religious and civic organizations involved in witnessing for peace and justice.
