Who are the Brethren?

We are a Christian community, committed to peace and fellowship in God’s word, and often compared to Quakers and Mennonites. Read more.

Join us in fellowship!

Welcome to West Richmond Church of the Brethren, a community of faith that seeks to live in God’s love. As we experience that love in fellowship and share that love with the world in service, we invite you to join us on a journey of continuing the work of Jesus, peacefully, simply, together.

Our invitation to you

Our worship service is a simple, peaceful celebration of Jesus' love, and we welcome all visitors. Please join us in fellowship at a service, a community gathering, or one of our volunteer programs (right).

We also invite our community to learn more about our prayer chain.

Family Friendly Friday (FFF)

The Witness Commission is sponsoring a Family Friendly Friday on Friday, May 18 at 8:00 p.m. We hope it will be the first of many.

Our featured entertainment for the evening will be the movie “Mr. Popper’s Penguins.” Our featured snacks for the evening will be popcorn and popsicles. And our honored guests for the evening will be you, your family and friends, your neighbors, your classmates, and everyone else who would like to join us.

Weather permitting, we will be outside. Please bring your family, friends, neighbors, classmates, lawn chairs, blankets and bug repellent. If the weather is more suitable for ducks or penguins, we will be inside. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask Ray Ryan, Ken Heatwole, Ann Andrus or Sarah Niswonger.
