What is Plain dress?

Edsel Burdge walks us through plainness, starting with the Quakers, addressing concerns of plainness at various points of conservative Mennonite history, and makes a case for why considerations of plainness should matter to Christians today. Burdge thinks of plainness as an approach to life that identifies a person with God’s people while resisting pressures of wealth, consumerism, and sensuality.

Glory to God!

We are currently building this page for, God willing the first of many House Church Communities to come.

1 Corinthians 14:26 What then, brothers? When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up.

We come together forming intentional communities to build each other up. We care for and love each other like a family. Doing our best to live out the teachings of Christ in His Sermon on the Mount.

Join us in Christ!
