  • The Brethren Reformed Church was formed in May 2007, near Dayton, Ohio. Families previously affiliated with the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches, the Conservative Grace Brethren Churches, International and the Southern Baptist Convention formed this new fellowship of Christians. Organization was formalized on August 14, 2007 by the Ohio Secretary of State. The Articles of Incorporation declared that the Brethren Reformed Church is a continuation of the Brethren Church which originated in Schwarzenau, Germany, in 1708. The articles further establish the church as a Peace church. A fundamental catalyst to the formation of the Brethren Reformed Church was a rejection of the Purpose Driven movement as unsound teaching which had gained wide acceptance, as a Church model, among the mainline Brethren denominations in the early twenty-first century. The new fellowship also viewed the philosophies of postmodernism and the emerging church as unsound characteristics of the church at Laodicea, and subject to the warnings issued by the Apostle Paul to Timothy in 2 Timothy 3:1-4:5. With specific regard to the Grace Brethren denomination, the Brethren Reformed Church essentially grew out of a convictional rejection of the Grace group's accommodations of Free Grace Theology, dispensational theology, and "cultural relativism" within doctrinal interpretation. The Brethren Reformed Church also reaffirmed the historic Brethren commitment to the threefold communion as the only biblical form of communion, the doctrine of non-resistance against religious persecution, and non-aggression against fellow man. On the other end of the spectrum from the progressive Brethren, the Brethren Reformed Church also found that its doctrinal perspective was well received by many persons in the Old German Baptist Brethren Church who were rejecting various legalisms of the Minutes of the Annual Meeting, and were embracing certain evangelical characteristics of missions, the sufficiency of Scripture, and group Bible Study.
