Beaver Creek Church of the Brethren History
The Beginnings of the Church of the Brethren
In early 18th Century Germany, men and women were quickly becoming disenchanted with the established Churches. Sermons were bland and unmotivated, little attention was given to the Scriptures and the Church was quickly becoming institutionalized. The only Churches recognized by the state were the Roman Catholic, the Lutheran and the Reformed Christian; Christians who had religious thoughts that differed from the State's ideology were known as "separatists". Separatists secretly gathered in their homes to study scripture and to join in praise. The separatist credited with the creation of the Church of the Brethren was Alexander Mack. In 1708, on the banks of the Eder River in Schwarzenau, Germany, Mack and six others were baptized by trine immersion.
They cast lots to see who would baptize Mack and then he, in turn, baptized the other six. This was the humble beginning of the Church of the Brethren. This act also marked these seven Christians as criminals of the state for not worshiping with the State recognized Churches. As the Brethren movement swept over Germany, the Brethren were brought into direct confrontation with the Political Authorities. Some were fined and imprisoned and in response the newly formed Church of the Brethren moved their congregations to America in the 1700's, where they were free to believe the way they were led to. The first Church of the Brethren was started in 1723 in Germantown, PA.
The Beginnings of Beaver Creek Church of the Brethren
Beaver Creek Church of the Brethren was organized on January 27, 1900. The first congregation consisted of 118 members. The first meeting house was constructed on Route 705 on the banks of Beaver Creek. The present Church was built in the winter of 1944-45 when it was decided that a more accessible site was needed. This building was located on Route 730, a few miles from the original site. In 1986 588 sq. ft. were added to both sides of the Church adding much needed room for the growing Congregation. In 1995, another addition added a 1,100 sq. ft. vestibule to make the Church more accessible during inclement weather.

Love me, Lord, just for today
Lord, for tomorrow and its needs, I do not pray; Keep me, my God, from stain of sin just for today. Let me both diligently work, And duly pray. Let me be kind in word and deed, Just for today. Let me be slow to do my will, Prompt to obey; Help me to sacrifice myself Just for today. And if today my tide of life should ebb away, Give me thy sacraments divine, Sweet Lord today. So for tomorrow and its needs I do not pray, But keep me, guide me, love me, Lord, Just for today.
