I did not know of this congregation, but both of the pastors have Swiss Brethren names, and the ministry organizations mentioned (the ones I've heard of, like CAM, CLP, and Faith Builders) are also all headquartered here in the East, and founded & supported by SB folks.

I struggle to see how the linage overly matters, especially for an outreach church.

There developed three streams of Anabaptism in the 16th century, and they all have some differences and developed differently, so in that way lineage matters. I would not expect teaching on total community off goods from a preacher with the name of Stoltzfus or Yoder, but I wouldn't be surprised to hear it from a Decker or Kleinsasser.
