Locate a Beachy Congregation |
|
Would you like to visit a Beachy or a similar type of church for a Sunday service? Do you need help finding one? We have locations for many plain Anabaptist groups, including (see below for expanded list): · Beachy Amish Mennonites, plain Mennonites, and plain Brethren
BEACHYAM.ORG HAS THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE DATABASE OF CHURCHES IN EXISTENCE.
If you are interested in attending any of these, please send your request. PLEASE PROVIDE A COMPLETE STREET ADDRESS (no apt #s, no PO boxes) to generate driving directions for you. Requests outside the US and Canada also welcome. All information you provide is kept private and used only by website personnel to help you with your request. You will not receive anything by mail, only email. See questions below for more information. Feel free to share anything you’d like about yourself or the request in the additional space provided on the request form. |

Why does BeachyAM need the information requested? A specific street address is needed to plug into the database to generate directions from your location to the church. This does not work for just zip codes or towns/cities. Because BeachyAM receives many requests, this speeds up the process of locating churches and is greatly appreciated.
How is my information handled? BeachyAM respects the privacy of information submitted. Any contact information you share will be used only by BeachyAM to help you locate a church. You needn’t have any reservation or concerns about your inquiry being used or shared in inappropriate ways or ways beyond assistance with locating a church.
The location of each request is saved in a spatial database (map). The data may be aggregated (no personally identifiable information included) for Beachys, Amish Mennonites, or Mennonites considering a church planting, so that they can see the general location of all those seeking a plain church and then compare that with where Anabaptist churches already exist to decide where good locations may be to settle. Therefore, your inquiries actually help us.
Why doesn’t BeachyAM just list the location of churches on the website? You can expect different things when visiting different churches; thus, some discretion is needed in referring you to a church that would best match your interests. In addition, the location of any church you are referred to is verified; when you arrive at your destination, there will be a church there; if the exact location is not known, you will be put in touch with a local minister that can help you further. What few other databases that exist on the web do not verify the locations of churches. When you arrive, there may be no church there.
What specific constituencies do you include or not include? The database includes churches from the following Anabaptist constituencies (most of these will be considered in your request unless you state otherwise):
INCLUDED Evangelical Mennonite Constituencies Bethel Fellowship Bible Mennonite Fellowship Caribbean Light and Truth Conservative Mennonite Church of Ontario Cumberland Valley Mennonite Church Eastern Pennsylvania Mennonite Church Haven Mennonite Fellowship Hope Mennonite Fellowship Keystone Mennonite Fellowship Mennonite Air Missions Mid-Atlantic Mennonite Fellowship Midwest Mennonite Fellowship Nationwide Fellowship Churches Pilgrim Mennonite Conference Sharing Concerns Mennonite South Atlantic Mennonite Conference Southeastern Mennonite Conference Washington-Franklin Mennonite Conference Western Conservative Mennonite Fellowship York and Adams Counties Churches Unaffiliated conservative Mennonite
