Bruderhof Communities

Bruderhof Communities are intentional Christian communities where members live, work, and worship together, sharing resources and responsibilities. Originating in Germany in the early 20th century, they emphasize communal living, nonviolence, hospitality, and alternative ways of pursuing faith and social harmony. Members often live simply, prioritize mutual support, and seek to embody Christian teachings through everyday actions. Today, Bruderhof communities exist worldwide, functioning as intentional societies that serve others through various social, educational, and humanitarian projects, all rooted in their commitment to community, service, and spirituality.
