West is a bit dry. I’d go to Grandview or Osceola if I was there.

Does anyone know anything about Followers of Christ Fellowship in Red Bluff, CA? Pilgrim has them listed as "Unaffiliated", as opposed to "Unafilliated Mennonite Congregations" for other congregations on the church finder.

I think they are a church plant from Squaw Valley.

Is anybody familiar with the Disciples' Fellowship in Westfield Massachusetts? I've seen them before when I was in western MA and assumed they were the church from Russell, but they seem to be their own group. Their website lists John H Yoder's 1977 Confession of Faith which I've never seen on a church website before.
Here is their website: http://www.disciples-fellowship.org

Re: Conservative Anabaptist Church Finder & Information
What you are seeing as John Yoder's confession of faith is actually the Schleitheim Confession, largely written by Michael Sattler. Yoder is the translator.francis wrote:Is anybody familiar with the Disciples' Fellowship in Westfield Massachusetts?

This does not appear on my database, and their placement of the Didache as an authoritative document tends to make me think these are an "Ancient Church" group, likely influenced by some of David Bercot's work.
Ernie can more accurately place them. I am taking my best guess based on experiences I have had. Personally I don't have much use, except historical, for second century writings. By that point, apostasy and false doctrine was rampant.

Two years ago they separated from a Nationwide Fellowship church. Now they are more or less aligned with Followers of the Way in Boston.Judas Maccabeus wrote:This does not appear on my database, and their placement of the Didache as an authoritative document tends to make me think these are an "Ancient Church" group, likely influenced by some of David Bercot's work.

Re: Conservative Anabaptist Church Finder & Information
I live near Tuscaloosa, AL. The nearest Mennonite/Anabaptist church is around 70 miles from where I live. I am currently unable to attend worship on Sundays or Wednesdays (due to other obligations). I would love to meet with individuals from Anabaptist background for bible study/small group discussions if possible. Do you have any suggestions?

Re: Conservative Anabaptist Church Finder & Information
My suggestion is to manage to get to one of those churches (There seem to be two, one BMA, one unaffiliated) on a Sunday, and ask. People who are on the ground there will know far more than us north easterners.Gelassenheit wrote:I live near Tuscaloosa, AL.

Are you driving all the way to Mississippi?
