Schwenkfelder Church

The Schwenkfelder Church is a historic Christian denomination that originated in the early 18th century among German-speaking Anabaptists who migrated to North America for religious freedom. Known for their emphasis on adult baptism, simplicity in worship, and a focus on community and service, they prioritize biblical teachings and life ethics. Today, the church maintains a small but active presence, valuing cultural heritage, scholarship, and social justice. Their congregations are located mainly in the United States, especially in Pennsylvania, and they aim to live out their faith through compassionate action and committed Christian living.
