Any questions feel free to ask.

Do you consider yourself as part of the Anabaptists with the Menonites and Amish?

Do most of your congregations have full time paid preachers?

The website mentioned a 3 way split. Are you still in fellowship with the other 2 groups? Who are they?

We are anabaptist's yes.


We pay our preachers yes

If you look at the (now more than 3 way split) you really could not tell the diffrence.  So yes My preacher learned at one of the 3 forms in his seminary school, but is now a Minister in the Church of the Brethren.

I belong to a Brethren church called Pathway Christian Community Church in York, PA. 
It really is the first denominational church I'm a member of, and I have to say I am enjoying it very much for the past two years.
I'm wondering if there are any Brethren churches that also are "filled with the spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues?"

Blessings to you!

Is Plymouth Brethren same with Church of the Brethren?
Is this an exclusive or open Brethren?

just curious because I have read something about "Brethren" online.
