United Brethren in Christ

The United Brethren in Christ is a Protestant Christian denomination that originated in the late 18th century in the United States, emphasizing personal faith, holiness, and evangelical outreach. It was founded on the principles of Wesleyan theology, advocating for living a holy life and actively spreading the Gospel. Over time, it merged with other groups to form the Evangelical United Brethren Church, which later became part of the United Methodist Church. Today, the United Brethren emphasizes Christian living, community service, and biblical teachings, maintaining a focus on spiritual growth and evangelism within its congregations.
