We are a membership driven, unofficial web site of the Church of the Brethren, a Protestant denomination with churches in most states and a few other countries. COB-NET is the first national Brethren web site. We responded to a trickle of online members back in the middle nineties when most churches were not even thinking of web sites, and only a few Brethren had discovered list servers and newsgroups. Here is the place to learn about all Brethren Groups which trace themselves to the original founding body that organized at Schwarzenau, Germany, in 1708. Locate Brethren related web sites through our Brethren Web Directory which includes districts, congregations, agencies, and personal homepages. If you have a high screen resolution monitor, try our Web Tree, a hierarchial linkable index that permits you to view most of our documents while still being able to view the linkable index. Our access logs show that Most Popular is where people regularly visit. Also use our Site Map and Search to locate your area of interest.

Visit with confidence, knowing that we guarantee wholesome information for the entire family, specifically having children in mind. COB-NET has been fully accredited with Family Friendly and rated highly by SafeSurf which are content monitoring organizations. Great care is employed in our continuous development and interpretation of the Brethren cultural experience.

Thanks for stopping by and please come again whenever convenient. Founder and web administrator Ron Gordon is a member of the Bunkertown Church of the Brethren in Pennsylvania Southern District. If you have photos or videos of Brethren activities for display above, please Contact Ron.
