The Beachy Amish Mennonites   

About this Website

Overview and Site Personnel

This website is not formally endorsed by the Beachy constituency or any part of the Beachy constituency. The constituency does not have a formal website, though several churches and ministries have sites. Some Beachy churches do allow limited web access in the home (with a filter and/or accountability system), while other churches do not allow web access in the home at all.

The website is managed and maintained solely by Cory Anderson, who is a member of a Beachy Amish Mennonite congregation, and who has authored the material on this site unless otherwise noted.

History of the site

The www.beachyam.org website started May 2005 to serve as a collecting place for various hard-to-find Beachy writings, with an emphasis on scholarly research. As the site grew, there was more interest shown from visitors in learning more basic information about the Beachys and even finding a Beachy church to attend. Thus, the second purpose of the site was added, to help seekers find a Beachy or like-minded church and to provide a general overview of the Beachys. Meanwhile, the collection of resources and papers continued to grow, and is today the most extensive collection of Beachy writings on the web, gathering together many hard-to-find works, many of which have been buried in university libraries across the country.

The Future

The site has transitioned from expansion mode to maintenance mode. The near future will see no expansions because the scope of the project has been basically completed; however, information is updated occasionally. The main work involved in this website is answering requests for church locations on an ongoing basis.

Feedback, corrections, and suggestions are still welcome; please use one of the contact forms available on this site, such as under the “church request page” to get in touch with the website author.
